JoWooD announced in this thread that the Starforce copy protection software will no longer be used for Gothic III, the RPG sequel in the works at Piranha Bytes. The game will feature a specially designed easy combat system, a huge free-roaming world - virtually no boundaries, countless side-quests for the player to choose from, over 50 different monsters and animals and dozens of human enemies, over 50 different powerful spells and over a hundred different weapons, and many more. Gothic 3 will be available in the US on September 26th and in the UK on September 29th - the E3 2006 trailer can be found here.
