- THQ Nordic buy Gothic and Risen creators Piranha Bytes - 22 May 2019
THQ Nordic continue to hoover up studios and games that make many go “Oh huh, yeah, they could be neat,” today announcing they’ve bought Piranha Bytes. They’re the German studio who created Gothic , Risen , and Elex, three open-world RPG series with varying degrees of promise and wonk that make many go “Oh huh, yeah, they could be neat.” Along with the team, THQ Nordic have bought the rights to those three and do hint that a sequel to 2017’s Elex is coming. Perhaps THQ Nordic can give Piranha Bytes the cash they need to exorcise some of their jank. (more…)
- THQ Nordic acquires... Gothic creator Piranha Bytes - 22 May 2019
THQ Nordic has acquired Gothic creator Piranha Bytes, and with it the IP rights to Gothic, Risen and Elex. The two companies have worked together before - THQ Nordic having been the publisher of Elex (2017), which was a bit ropey but charming nonetheless (a little like Piranha Bytes' other games). On the prospect of Elex 2, the acquisition press release said: "Semi-official comment: Have a guess." As for a new Gothic - presumably Gothic 5? "Nothing to say at this stage." Read more

- Risen 3 save game issues after 64-bit patch - 25 August 2015
We've seen a lot of reports over the weekend that after the 64-bit patch people get notifications that their save game is no longer accessible due to a "missing DLC" error. We've been actively looking into this issue and we hope to find a good solution soon. It seems the issue *should* only affect users who created a save game on Friday, August 21, in a period during the day (European time) after the patch went live. Save games created before the patch went live on Friday, or on Saturday and beyond, should work as intended. If that's not the case, however, please let us know in the comments as well as when that save game in question was created. Thank you for your patience! - Risen 3 team
- Ahoy: Risen 3 Gets A Free Graphics Boost - 22 August 2015
O Risen – The ol’ girl gets accused of being what’s called “low fantasy” (fiction elitist-speak which I think essentially means it has pirates in it). But even in the face of years of apathetic reviews (we called Risen 2 “ deflating ” and devoted nine diary posts to the threequel to saying the game was really weird and vaguely sexist though charmingly ambitious) Deep Silver have devoted quite some time to the series since 2009. That extends to earlier this week when the publisher revealed a big graphical update to Risen 3: Titan Lords as part of a free update. Read about it after the jump. …
