Gothic 3 is a fantasy-themed open world action role-playing game for Microsoft Windows developed by Piranha Bytes. It is the sequel to Gothic II.

After the game was criticized for its unfinished state at launch, and Piranha Bytes and publisher JoWooD parted ways, bug fixes continued through community patches.

In August 2025, rights holder THQ Nordic announced a release of the game under the title Gothic 3 Classic for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. This port is scheduled for release in 2026, alongside ports of its two previous prequels.

A Collector's Edition was released containing bonus collectible material. JoWooD released a standalone expansion, entitled Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods, in November 2008.
