Whether it's good or bad, the highly respected (or not) JoWood has been declared bankrupt as of January 7. This means the future of the publisher depends on potential sponsors willing to invest in a losing campaign.

Otherwise, all brands owned by the publisher, the most well-known of which are: Gothic, SpellForce, Painkiller, will be put up for sale.

How should this be perceived? As a bright ray of hope for the revival of Gothic, or as tragic news of the demise of a major publisher? That's for everyone to decide. But it is evident that someone Deep Silver is buying up unprofitable brands. Recently, the publisher of Risen acquired the brand Sacred, the third part of which is currently being produced by the remnants of the Ascaron studio.

If this happens, and the rights to Gothic fall to Deep Silver, then we all know who will be set to develop the new part of the famous series!
