Original 360 disc is DVD-9 serial JW-2002 (NA barcode 625904730640 / item XBX730TBFR; EU barcodes include 9006113173106). JoWooD/DreamCatcher launch; later Nordic Games reprints of the same serial. Fall of Setarrif did not ship as a standalone 360 disc; Nordic bundled it with the base game as Arcania: The Complete Tale (2013, barcode 9006113002284 / item 4A5707D2). The PS3 version launched later as Complete Tale only.
Facts
- Gothic series spin-off by Spellbound Entertainment, not Piranha Bytes—the first Gothic on consoles. A shepherd from Feshyr becomes the nameless hero against King Rhobar III in Myrtana.
- Gameplay is streamlined versus earlier Gothic games: a skill tree instead of teachers, no sleep-to-wait, any weapon usable, and only three upgradable spells.
- Fall of Setarrif was a 2011 PC expansion; on 360 it arrived in 2013 inside Arcania: The Complete Tale, not as a separate add-on disc.
