Project RPB = Risen

The Project RPB teaser countdown (story) has expired, and now reveals a new Risen teaser, which consists of a teaser image, and maddeningly, another countdown timer for Piranha Bytes upcoming RPG (thanks mocib). The World of Piranha site has be supplanted by the World of Risen page, which is entirely in German, but besides offering a German-language forum, really only seems to be selling t-shirts at the moment anyway. The countdown currently stands at about two weeks, so more time will probably pass before we get real details on the new RPG project from the folks behind the Gothic series. Update: The following press release offers a bit more, and confirms more information on the game will be released at the Leipzig Games Convention that will kick off on August 20, coinciding with the end of that countdown:

Deep Silver, the video game label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, and the Piranha Bytes team announce the name of their joint role-play project: Risen.

With Risen, Piranha Bytes introduces a fresh, new setting. The game’s protagonist is shipwrecked after a storm and finds himself on a mysterious island. An active volcano dominates the scene. Ancient temple ruins have recently risen from the ground, and bizarre creatures infest the island.

″Piranha Bytes have already proven their enormous talent for creating both enthralling and profound role-playing worlds. With Risen, the team presents a new exciting scenario providing a great variety of adventures, which will keep players glued in front of their monitors.″ says Dr. Klemens Kundratitz, Managing Director of Koch Media.

Further information about Risen will be presented at the Games Convention.

The new teaser site provides a close up of the glowing volcano. A newsletter provides readers with the latest news. The website is located at: http:\\risen.deepsilver.com

The working title of Risen has been ″Project RPB″.
