From Gamespot comes word that the fourth installment in the Gothic series has received a new name - it will be known as Arcania: A Gothic Tale in North America. The reason for the name change comes from the series’ unpopularity in the region compared to other territories.
The game is being handled by Spellbound Entertainment this time around instead of being at the hands of series creator Piranha Bytes. Additionally, they revealed that the North American and European versions of the game will feature different color palettes featuring bright and colorful graphics and gritty muted colors, respectively. Apparently, months of research have shown the gaming preferences of either territory, showing that American gamers are more attracted to brightly colored games than their European counterparts.
