Why wouldn't it?
IIRC Jowood never killed a game, they do have a record of releasing too early (Gothic3) and/or with little marketing (Arx).. Did I miss a news story?

Apparently the new developer has been contributing to the community patch of G3.

Also Spellbound was entrusted with the care and continuation of the brand Gothic 3. One will co-operate consciously with the Community, which already provided for several Patches to the game. Hammas team will operate Bugfixing and will publish in such a way - possibly together with the Community results - further Gothic 3-Patches. Interesting detail: Hamma explained in the Inteview that the former Gothic 3 developer, Piranha Byte, is in contact with Spellbound and will help with some problems.gunsmoke on 18/12/2007 at 13:19

Just a little wishful thinking. Don't read too much into it.

I think the Gothic series progressed quite nicely by starting in a relatively small location, then moving to a little bigger area and in Gothic 3 making quite a large part of the whole world accessible* -- but some of it was already hinted at in the first game. I don't really see where it could go further. There has been a conclusion already (I think -- I don't really remember the ending very well, and there was also some bug preventing me to see one possible ending I think)
I do wish Gothic 3 could have seen a little more development -- it was quite buggy and lacking something...
---
* maybe the world was actually too big -- they could easily have split that world into two games and made both deeper (and less buggy).

They're stones you cobble along on. What the hell else would they be?

Looks like there will be an Addon first, similar to Night of the Raven. (

Due to come out end of 4th quarter 2008.
I´m really excited about these news. Particularly because the main game is getting extended which probably will make my intended replay less annoying. Gothic 3 regular ending was kind of a letdown. I still listen to that great soundtrack.
