Eurogamer has a follow-up on promised plans to patch Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods to address the numerous bugs in the RPG expansion, as word from JoWooD is the patch is still expected before the end of the year. It seems entirely justified to be concerned that the upcoming fourth game in the series, Arcania - A Gothic Tale, might be released in an incomplete state, considering the number of bugs seems to have increased with each release in the Gothic series, but JoWooD doesn't agree: "That fear is comprehensible, but entirely unjustified. For Arcania - A Gothic Tale, we have implemented a better development process and quality assurance tools right from the beginning, which have simplified the continuous quality protection and will guarantee the correctness of this product." Another comment from JoWooD seems to imply some of the problems with the Gothic series has been the fault of previous developer Piranha Bytes, as they say: "The collaboration with Spellbound, one of the best German development studios, is very professional." Wrapping up discussion of Arcania - A Gothic Tale, the publisher adds: "At this moment we can proudly state that the project is on track and in time."
