Risen 2: Dark Waters Delayed Giving us a quick heads-up this afternoon, Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes have announced that their upcoming Fantasy-RPG, Risen 2: Dark Waters, has been delayed for unspecified reasons. Previously scheduled for release in April, the game is now expected to hit stores in North America on May 22nd and Europe on May 25th. So be sure to update your calendars!

That sucks. More time to get through some of my backlog then I guess.

[Hamplin]

I was not even aware of the release being so close.

[Xater]

That's actually good because I will be playing Witcher 2 in April.

[TucoBenedictoPacifico]

I read a few hours ago that just console versions were delayed.
i wonder what's changed.

[subversus]

I just started the first game so I'm not in a hurry.

[Labadal]

Not surprised. Wasn't the first game delayed over and over again?

Not that I remember. Only the Xbox 360 version was delayed a bit.

[dethforce]

t he german version is still on shedule for 27th of april release.

[Dennis]

Good.

Polish that sucker while I finish ME3.

[TriGen]

I was not even aware of the release being so close.

Same here.

[ironcreed]

I read a few hours ago that just console versions were delayed. i wonder what's changed.

Same thing happened to the horrible 360 version of the first one at the last minute. Not expecting this to be a performer on consoles, but I hope I am wrong. Regardless, it is no more than a rent for me.

[spindoctor]

This is going to clash with Max Payne 3 now. I wonder if that will have any impact on their sales.

I doubt they have same audiences.

[ForzaFerrari]

Same date as Dragon's Dogma :/

[Hasardeur]

I can't seem to pre-order the PC version of this on any of the UK retail sites.

[Xander51]

I still haven't finished the first one, so I'm okay with this. It's not a huge delay.

[subversus]

the first one is good btw. Didn't expect it.

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

No biggie. They should take their time to make it as good as possible

the first one is good btw. Didn't expect it.

The last dungeon and ending is pretty disappointing but everything up to that is great.

[Winnie the Pimp]

yeah that's alright guys, take your time, i'm in no hurry, i have enough unplayed games to last me until 2035 at least :)

[HamPster PamPster]

Right next to Dragon's Dogma isn't it? Which open world RPG will I play first!?

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Well I'm getting both. That's for definite.

[Drazgul]

The last dungeon and ending is pretty disappointing but everything up to that is great.

Isn't it pretty much the general consensus that Risen kinda fizzles out towards the end, but until that it was sogood.gif

If they don't deteriorate the endgame similarly this time around, Risen 2 could be GOTY material.

[Ice King]

Would you guys reccomend the first risen? The new one looks pretty good, and I was wondering of the first one is worth playing. The second one is grabbing my attention since its a pirate rpg, and that pirates of the carribean game got shut down.

[-SD-]

Would you guys reccomend the first risen?

Risen is definitely worth buying for. I've played it through twice and always had great time, except for the last 10% of the game, which was just OK.

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

If you like open world rpgs then you should definitely play it. I think they patched out TAGES recently so there's no reason not to buy it.

[Clydefrog]

ARGHHHHH

I'll have to agree with the other posters. The first game is worth getting because of the exploration and the combat was challenging but fun.

[Winnie the Pimp]

yeah it's very good, i'm usually not that big on Western RPGs but this i enjoyed a lot... finished it even, which is rare for me, it's up there with games like the Witcher etc. though it's more open world than that which can be good or bad!

[Derrick01]

Oh sweet the PC version wasn't delayed? Saving money now :D

[TucoBenedictoPacifico]

Definitely.

Well, I didn't like the final boss and I found disappointing the general lack of new quests and content in the last part of the game, that turned it almost in an hack'n slash.... but beside that there isn't much I didn't enjoy in the game.

Even the dungeons, despise being very short, had the perfect feeling: dangerous places filled with strong enemies and deadly traps, where you needed to pay proper attention to survive, instead of being just places navigable with the "follow the corridor looking at the glowing thing in the minimap" approach.

[ColonialRaptor]

It looks like it could be a decent game, although I know nothing about it...

Who's doing the OT?

I am terrified for the PS3 port of this game. I know it's the developers porting it over, but I know how these first try PC to PS3 ports tend to go.

Is there any footage of the PS3 version?

I don't think they've shown any footage from the console versions at all.
I'm pretty sure that both console versions are being ported by the same studio that made the 360 port of the first game. The difference is that this time they were planned from the beginning (Risen was pretty far along when the publisher decided that they wanted a console port and the devs that made the port didn't have much time to do it). You can tell just by looking at the UI, Risens UI was designed around kbm while Risen 2s UI seems to be designed around a controller, kind of like The Witcher 1 -> The Witcher 2.

[Reuenthal]

I don't mind the delay, I will still definitely get this.

[Spectacular Dr Dawg]

I don't mind the delay, I will still definitely get this.

It's only for the console versions. The pc version should be out this month.

[maquiladora]

Same euro date.

phew

[Pookmunki]

Game looks ace, can't wait to play.

[Clydefrog]

Most anticipated game of 2012 for me.

[Tex117]

Im waiting for Dragon's Dogma, but will likely be picking this up over the summer during the lull period.

[Zefah]

This is still coming on April 27th for the PC, right?

[Sinatar]

With Pirahna Bytes games more Q&A time can only be a good thing.

[DMPrince]

PC is still April 27

everyone else is July 31st and europe on August 3

Risen 2™: Dark Waters sets sails for a new release date on consoles! The pirate RPG will now board store shelves on July 31, 2012 in the USA and Canada and on August 03, 2012 in European countries. Risen 2: Dark Waters for Windows PC is unaffected and on its charted course. It has already gone into production and will lift anchor on April 27, 2012.

[Gez]

Will wait for a sale. I got a backlog.

[nelsonroyale]

Ooh still April 27 for PC? Will keep a very close eye on this!!

[SparkTR]

Day 1, the world needs more pirate themed games. Any idea if Steam will be doing a preload?
