Gothic — экшн-ролевая игра 2001 года, разработанная Piranha Bytes, вышедшая исключительно на PC и ставшая первой частью одноимённой серии. Действие разворачивается в беззаконной каторжной колонии, окружённой магическим барьером: безымянный заключённый вынужден выживать среди враждующих фракций, дикой природы и древней магии в открытом мире с полностью озвученными диалогами — одна из первых европейских RPG с подобной особенностью. Критики высоко оценили сюжет, дизайн мира, атмосферу и взаимодействие с персонажами, однако указали на многочисленные баги, нестандартное управление и высокие системные требования. Игра сформировала большое и долгосрочное сообщество фанатов и моддеров, особенно в Германии, Австрии, Польше и России. В 2023 году вышел порт Gothic Classic для Nintendo Switch, а полноценный ремейк от Alkimia Interactive под издательством THQ Nordic запланирован на 2026 год.
