Arcania Gothic 4

ArcaniA: Gothic 4 is the fourth installment of the Gothic series, and the first one developed by a company other than Piranha Bytes; the game was developed by Spellbound.The first teaser trailer revealed that Arcania was scheduled to be released in Winter 2009, but JoWooD Entertainment has subsequently pushed back the release to 2010.
The game was released on October 12, 2010 for Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360. The PlayStation 3 version will be released in 2011.
 Ten years have passed since the end of Gothic 3 and the world has changed - the Southern Islands have become embroiled in conflict, and set the stage for the player to brave countless adventures in the guise of a nameless hero. Decisions will have to be made which will change not only the future of the Southern Islands, but of the entire world. Old acquaintances and new faces will aid the hero or attempt to thwart his efforts throughout his journey.
JoWooD announced on October 13, 2010 via its CEO, Franz Rossler, that Arcania will receive several addons in 2011. Nothing has been mentioned about the content. Meanwhile it has turned out that this was obviously an announcement of vaporware, since JoWooD did not hold the necessary rights for this.
A patch for the game was released on November 23 for the PC platform. The update slightly alters specific gameplay dynamics, increases the overall performance and gets rid of crashes.

On December 9, 2010, JoWooD announced that they will release ArcaniA: Fall of Setarrif in 2011 - the first addon for Gothic 4. Besides several hours of gameplay, new monsters locations and quests, the addon will introduce a new feature - the possibility to play as known characters from the Gothic series. However on March 22, 2011 JoWooD Entertainment announced that the expansion has been delayed indefinitely because of legal issues with BVT Games Fund III
