English Gothic II Add-on in Doubt?
[Apr 27, 2004, 1:37 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments

A post to the JoWooD Gothic Forums by Iomar Eisenwolf, one of the board moderators, follows-up on a post to that thread translating a German interview that states the developers at Piranha Bytes are currently solely concentrating on Gothic III. Concerned about the implications this news holds for the English version of the Night of the Raven add-on for Gothic II, Iomar's inquiries have lead to discouraging news: "Bad news concerning the addon. I've talked with Plex if there will be an english [sic] version of the addon (Nacht des Raben), and he said that's a very difficult question. Many political problems are here within and it's not sure if there will be ever an english addon. this is out of the hands of JoWooD and Atari doesn't respond. Seems that the addon is temporary on ice or it died long before." Thanks RPGDot.

From what I heard quite a while ago all the English voice acting was done in London for Night of The Raven. It's all held up because Atari owns the distribution rights to it.

So it's not about the developers doing something in terms of translating it to English, their hands are tied. It's going to take someone from the outside to hack us up a patch to translate the text for us.

Easily one of the biggest gaming disappointments for 2004. Was eagerly awaiting it's release after finishing Gothic 2. Who didn't order it from overseas? Is the real question. Atari had poor poor sales on the US release; the fans already bought the bloody thing abroad. Atari=Dumb and Dumber on this one.
