It's been a while since we last heard of the Gothic mobile game developed by HandyGames. Fortunately, we've gotten word from JoWooD that the arrival of the highly acclaimed Gothic 3 - The Beginning for the mobile gaming platform is finally here. Check out the details of this award winning mobile game in the full article.

Game publisher JoWooD has just announced that they have a new game being readied for the Mobile phone community, titled Gothic 3: The Beginning. The game is to be developed by the HandyGames group and is actually the mobile port of Gothic 3 for the PC, developed by Piranha Bytes.

This game will put players behind the controls of a Nameless Hero as they explore the lands of Khorinis and Tirith. The game consists mostly of slaying wild beasts and monsters, so this shouldn't be anything too complicated for the mobile phone owners. As for the rest of Gothic 3: The Beginning's features:

• Visit various locations in Khorinis and Tirith
• Chat with NPCs to find clues in your adventure and trade with merchants to gain the best equipment for your journey
• Fight against hundreds of monsters and develop your skills to be able to use stronger arm our and weapons
• Learn how to use long banned magic to gain enough power to accomplish your tasks
• Find valuable treasures and pieces of equipment or take them from your conquered enemies
• Pry locks and chests open to find rare treasures
• Auto-save feature at checkpoints throughout the game allows players to continue their adventure at any time
  

Gothic 3: The Beginning is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2008. Hopefully, that's more than enough time for the devs to clear out all the previous bugs that crippled its otherwise hot-selling PC version. Stay tuned in case we pick up more details.
