Gothic 3 Interview

World of Gothic has conducted an interview with Pirahna Bytes' Kai Rosenkranz, quizzing the developer during the Leipzig Games Convention about their upcoming third installment in the Gothic series.
Q: There are a lot of weapons many of us may have grown fond of (e.g. Uriziel or Beliars Claw). Will we come across them again in Gothic 3?

A: Again there will againbe many special weapons with unique names and a particular meaning in the world of Gothic. But we won't meet Urziel and the like again from former Gothic games. We have a completely new world with new people and quests. You can reasonably expect that our hero took some of his former weapons with him but you won't be able to find Uriziel in any chest.
