- Summer Sale & Gamescom Update - 30 June 2026
Travelers of the Otherworld!As you most likely already noticed, the Summer Sale on Steam has begun during the heatwave in Europe. And that's why you can get Drova now a little bit cheaper than usual. And if you are still not sure about it, feel free to give the Demo a try - savegames obviously transfer! But we also wanted to use the opportunity to say thanks once again!At the same time we would like to answer a question we received quite often recently: No, we won't be at this years Gamescom. We're busy working on our new project and we won't be able to reveal it in August in Cologne. It won't be playable at the show. And it won't be presented behind closed doors either. And that's for a reason. We're planning something. We're making quite some progress and our new project is coming along nicely. And yes, we can confirm that you'll be hearing from us later this year. You just have to be…
- Want to give the game a try? Check our Demo! - 10 June 2026
Travellers of the Otherworld! We’ve got some exciting news to share with you. As you know, we’ve released Drova recently also on mobile Platforms. Since games such as Drova aren’t the usual approach on Mobile stores, we’ve decided to offer a free trial versions for players to figure out if they like the game or not. Now that the Remake of Gothic is finally available (we’re also playing it a lot), we’re following the discussions around it with great interest of course. We’re seeing that players are looking for similar experiences. So we thought that a demo might help. We know that not everyone can imagine playing that certain type of RPG with a pixelart style. So we’ve decided to let the game do the talking. And players can give it a try and decide if they like it or not.The demo offers around two hours of content. The intro and the first camp can be explored. And yes, of course, the sav…
- Happy Remake Day! - 5 June 2026
Travellers of the Otherworld!Today is a day to celebrate. When we were younger, Gothic was the first game which showed us what a true RPG could be. It gave us a world to try things out. One we didn't know we’d need. It was special in so many ways. And due to its absolutely stunning Community survived until today.Looking back, Gothic is not only a massive inspiration but also a major milestone for the German Games Industry. A brand of relevance, today more than ever. Without Gothic we wouldn’t have started Drova. It is one of the main inspirations, one of the main reasons why we went for the RPG genre. And as of now, Gothic Remake is finally here. We have obviously followed its development with great interest and we’re super excited to return to this magical world once again. And we hope it can scratch that itch.We’ll take a few days off now, going deeper into the Mines. To celebrate the…

- Welcome China! - 19 November 2025
Dear Travellers of the Otherworld!Never ever could we have imagined what Drova would mean for us. Never ever could we have predicted how the game would blow up and never ever would we have been able to foresee the countries in which it would become that popular. We created a game for ourselves, a game we were missing since the days we played Gothic. We never made a secret out of our inspirations. Obviously that led to a situation where we knew that Europe and especially also eastern Europe (yes, Polish is still in the works and will follow in Q1) could be potentially strong markets. And sure, the USA because it is still one of the biggest markets available. But we never expected the game to become so insanely popular in China. Or Korea. Especially since these regions were not the core markets of our inspirations either. And especially since Drova, just from its looks and gameplay, is no…
