Grabbing our attention tonight, Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes have officially announced the development of a new role-playing game called "Risen". Details on the project are being kept under tight wraps for now, but they do offer the following storyline setup:
With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The games protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island.
A full press release is available right here. More info on the game will be revealed at the Leipzig Games Convention later this month. So stay tuned!
