Swedish investor buys JoWooD - Googolplex - 06-06-2011

The austrian game publisher JoWooD has filed for bankruptcy.
JoWooD is also known as the publisher for the great Gothic series.

Now, the swedish investor Wingefors Invest was buying JoWooD.

I hope, the unreleased AddOn for the fourth Gothic can now be released soon.

Gothic is a good game like Penumbra.

Chaser and Soldier of Fortune 3.

Just kidding. Those are really bad. I can't think of any other games from them.

They have released:

Gothic 2 - Night Of The Raven
Gothic 3
Gothic 3 - Forsaken Gods
Arcania: Gothic 4

Gothic 1 was from the publisher "Shoebox".

I say you, this all are great games!
Gothic 1 & 2 are the best of all.

They released Zax The Alien Hunter. I played the demo and would love to play the full version, alas it's not sold anywhere anymore.
