Platforms: Playstation 3, Xbox360, and PC. Official Site: Risen 2: Dark Waters (http://www.risen2.com/age-verification/) Summary: The original Risen was a fun but flawed RPG set in the fairly generic isle of Faranga. While the game played up a larger conflict between bandits and the Inquisition, one of the more memorable story threads involved pirates. For the sequel, Piranha Bytes is taking that pirate theme and running with it. In part one of their making-of series, the development team explains why they decided to focus on pirates, and how this decision affected world creation and the overall story. Risen 2: Dark Waters is a single-player fantasy-themed action role-playing game and the sequel to Risen by the German company Piranha Bytes. It is published and distributed by the German company Deep Silver, a division of Koch Media. Plot: Risen 2 : Dark Waters begins in the harbor city of Caldera. The last vestiges of the Inquisition gathered in the fortress of crystal and are still trying to fight against the Titans. Unfortunately, sea monsters cause inconvenience and boats that were supposed to deliver major equipments are lost to the sea. The main character is the hero of the first Risen. However, he is now a broken man without illusions who turned to alcohol. He wears a patch over one eye that hides the Inquisitor monocle, obtained at the end of Risen. The game begins with Carlos (known from Risen) who asks the hero to help a ship that sank off the coast of the island. Among the survivors, there is another old friend: Patty. She is always in search of her father, the famous pirate Gregorius Emanuel Steelbeard, and rumor says he has found a way to sail the seas safely. They decide to team up to find him. Main characters: In the tradition of games developed by Piranha Bytes, the main character has no name. He is simply called the Nameless Hero. Gameplay: The player doesn't choose his character or his class. One gains experience points (XP) as rewards for fighting monsters and solving quests. When enough points have been accumulated, the hero levels up and earns learning points (LP). The player can spend these learning points with Trainers - special NPCs that are scattered around the game world - to increase his stats or acquire new skills. The player can use a wide range of weapons, including, for the first time, guns. Alternatively, the player can choose to play as a mage. Risen offers the player a semi-open world: each island is a separate area that requires loading; but once the area is loaded, one can move freely without hindrance or pause for loading new items. At the beginning of the game, not all islands are reachable, but they become so as the story unfolds.

It could be nice to have something new. Thoughts? EDIT: Hope there isn't another thread like this, I searched around to make sure someone hasn't already announced it on here and it didn't bring up any results.
