Risen will rise (in stores) on October 2

by John Callaham Jul 2nd 2009 @ 3:00PM

It's somewhat rare for a game to get a solid release date several months in advance these days but that's what's happing to the upcoming fantasy RPG Risen. Today the game's publisher Deep Silver announced that the game from developer Piranha Bytes will ship to stores worldwide on October 2.

The press release announcing the release date proudly states, "The contents of Risen are already complete, and all dialogs have been recorded." They also state that three separate quality assurance teams are working to complete Risen. Let's hope that three teams is enough to squash all the issues in Risen and avoid what happened with Piranah Bytes' last game Gothic 3 where the game shipped with lots of bugs.

New Risen screenshots released

by John Callaham Mar 15th 2009 @ 11:00AM

Last summer the veil was lifted on Risen, a new fantasy RPG project from developer Piranha Bytes (the creators of the first three Gothic games). This week the game's publisher Deep Silver sent out a huge batch of screenshots from the game showing off more of what we can expect from the title.

As we have reported previously, Risen itself takes place in a "fictional medieval background on a huge volcanic island." Supposedly the game will take place in an open world setting with no load time and will have an "innovative and intuitive user control interface will support both casual and hardcore gamer." So far there's no word on when Risen will rise and be released to stores.
