Key points

  • Gothic II Complete Classic launches September 29, 2026, on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X, per THQ Nordic.
  • The Complete Classic framing bundles Gothic II with the Night of the Raven expansion; THQ Nordic lists €29.99.
  • PlayStation Store lists the release for September 29, 2026, at 02:00 PM UTC, published by THQ Nordic.
  • THQ Nordic’s Classic console slate also includes Gothic Classic (July 28, 2026) and Gothic III Classic (November 24, 2026).

Gothic II Complete Classic arrives on PlayStation and Xbox tomorrow, September 29, 2026 — a console-first Classic port of a PC-native German open-world RPG, not a remaster paraphrase. THQ Nordic’s April 14, 2026 announcement dates the release for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X at €29.99, with Night of the Raven bundled under the Complete Classic framing. The PlayStation Store concept page lists the same day at 02:00 PM UTC, publisher THQ Nordic; the THQ Nordic EU store mirrors the €29.99 / 29 September 2026 lock for the PS5 Complete Classic SKU.

What “Classic” preserves here

Piranha Bytes built Gothic II for PC. The Classic console line is THQ Nordic bringing that design language — the Colony-to-Myrtana open-world RPG cadence, faction gates, and the Night of the Raven expansion — onto living-room hardware without asking console players to wait for a remake path. Complete means the base game plus Raven in one package on day one.

Nearby Classic dates (calendar only)

THQ Nordic’s same classics post also lists Gothic Classic for July 28, 2026, and Gothic III Classic for November 24, 2026 (PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch 2). Those are separate SKUs on the same slate — not part of tomorrow’s launch wire.

Separately, THQ Nordic’s materials note Gothic 1 Remake for June 5, 2026, with Gothic Classic as a console pre-order bonus. That remake path sits beside the Classic ports; it is not tomorrow’s story.

If a date moves, the publisher moves it first. Until then, September 29 on PlayStation and Xbox is the Complete Classic lock.
