Gothic 1 Remake has received its first free Feature Update, introducing Photo Mode, Marvin Mode, and new character customisation options. Players can now capture screenshots across the Colony, use the official cheat mode to teleport or spawn items and characters, and customise the Nameless Hero with new hairstyles and tattoos. The update also adds Brotherhood-specific customisation features and the ability to wait while sitting on a bench.
Alongside the new features, the update improves sound reactions, crafted weapon stats, and several gameplay systems. It also fixes numerous quest progression issues across multiple chapters, including problems involving Aaron’s Chest, the Minecrawler Nest, and the focus stone quest. Additional fixes address equipment, journal entries, enemy weapons, merchant inventories, and character behaviour.
