Gothic 3 European Release Date Announced

Blue's News is reporting that JoWooD has announced that Piranha Bytes' Gothic 3 will be released in Europe on October 13th. So much for a North American simultaneous release, I guess.
Liezen, Austria, 8th August 2006; JoWooD Productions and Deep Silver announce the final release date for the most anticipated role-playing game of this year:

Gothic 3 will be released on the 13th of October in Europe!

(It's fixed Gothic 3 fans will get their hands on Gothic 3 this October and will be rewarded with a great game for their patience), says Stefan Berger, Senior Brand Manager JoWooD Productions.

By releasing Gothic 3 on the 13th of October JoWooD and Deep Silver will maintain the highest possible game quality and ensure that Gothic 3 once again delivers a unique gaming experience.

Welcome to the world of Gothic.
