A new Gothic double pack is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch this summer, featuring the two original games.
"The Vienna-based (Austria) video games publisher THQ Nordic and Essen-based (Germany) indie games developer Piranha Bytes, are today very happy and excited to announce that “Gothic II Complete Classic“, is now digitally and physcially available for the Nintendo Switch." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

WTMG's Leo Faria: "Gothic is the kind of ultra-janky game you’ll most likely grab on Steam or GOG, at a monstrous discount, at maybe two dollars during a sale, and play for a few hours whilst trying to cope with dated visuals, controls, physics, and so on. This is NOT the kind of game that deserves being sold for thirty bucks on the eShop, with little to no improvements, and a control scheme that just showcases this has always been meant to be played with a mouse and keyboard. This is one of laziest and most bare bones ports on the Switch, at an insulting price tag to boot. In a system filled to the brim with RPGs, you can probably live without this one."
If the switch is getting something physically the ps5 is not then I want be purchasing physical or until it's super cheap. Shame I actually like and bought risen 2 and 3, elex 1 and 2, and plan on buying risen 1 as I like this studios games.
I wonder why they re-released these on the Switch only? They're missing out on potential sales. I really hope they port Gothic 3 next, that's the one I want to play the most. The PC version unfortunately doesn't have controller support. If they port Gothic 3, and then release the entire trilogy as a physical copy on PS5 I'd be over the moon.
