After having ousted the influence of gods from Myrtana, the nameless hero and Xardas have left the world and its denizens to their own. Somewhere afar in another realm, they closely watch over the actions of the mortal beings. As time passes, the orcs and humans start fighting again and even a fight befalls the heroes companions. Wanting to restore peace and order, the nameless hero leaves the secret realm and returns to Myrtana. It falls onto the hero to once again decide the fate of this world, by uniting Myrtana.

With more than 125 new quests and a bevy of new content, Forsaken Gods extends the tale of Gothic 3 with another non-linear adventure, where the hero will shed blood with, or against former companions in an aching quest to bring back unity and peace to Myrtana.
