If you played the first Risen game you would recall it being a single player fantasy game on a Mediterranean island called Faranga. Inhabited by humans and other mythical and exotic creatures you venture through the island against the inquisition placed on the island. Piranha bytes , a German company has created the sequel to Risen called Risen 2: Dark Waters. A single player pirate rpg. Yeah… Pirates. That should make you already interested in the game.
Risen 2 will involve you helping “Patty” the daughter of the pirate Captain Steelbeard a character in Risen which you would recognize from side quests. The official website for Risen 2: Dark Waters launched today. So if you feel like roaming the internet to see what is going there, be warned, pirate debauchery and shenanigans do occur.
