Piranha Bytes is on the verge of closure after 25+ years (the process has probably been running since November 2023). The reason is the drastic cost-cutting course of the Embracer Group. Any game in an early stage of development where it is unclear whether it will be profitable upon release will be canceled.
Oct 3, 2019 · I was a big fan of Gothic series and liked the Risen trilogy as well (yes, even the second and third game) but this one is really different. Or it looks different.
