Piranha Bytes, the creators of Gothic and Risen, return to their origins with a new, classic RPG. Risen 3: Titan Lords pulls the player in to a hand-crafted role-playing world full of rugged charm where every decision changes the course of the story. Risen 3: Titan Lords is set for release in August 2014 for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft and for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system as well as Windows PC.
The key element of the cult Gothic series as well as Risen is the vivid world and the freedom to explore it. The world of Risen 3: Titan Lords will be diverse, authentic and full of life, providing the player with an authentic, classic RPG experience.
“Like a carpenter with a hand-crafted piece of furniture, we put together the story, the characters and the landscape until it all fits and the player has the possibility to discover things all around the place. You can try out and find things that others might not. Exploration is the key to our game”, says Bjoern Pankratz, Project Lead at Piranha Bytes.
The world of Risen 3 is abandoned by all gods and suffers from the Titan Wars when a new threat rises from the soil. A young warrior is attacked from the shadows and deprived of his soul. He sets off to reclaim what is lost amidst the darkness that is spreading throughout the world. The banned Mages could be powerful allies on his quest. To get their help, he needs to find the Mage sanctuary on Taranis, also known as the Island of Thunder. Protected by the Guardians, the Mages search the mines of Taranis for crystals loaded with magic energy. Will the player join the Guardians to get in contact with the Mages? Or will he choose one of the other guilds in Risen 3 to reach his goals?
Deep Silver will partner with GOG.com to deliver highlights of its PC portfolio in a DRM-free version. The co-operation starts today with the critically acclaimed RPG Risen by developers Piranha Bytes. As an initial offer, Risen will be available for $9,99. Also, next week Deep Silver and GOG.com follow-up with Risen 2.
Bereft of his soul, a young warrior seeks for salvation and has to fight the soaring darkness. Even worse: In the whole world, skull caves rise from the grounds and spill creatures of the shadow on the earth. To win back his soul, our hero must fight the darkest threat of the Risen saga.
In the gloomy world of Risen 3, the last Mages and their faithful Guardians face a dark menace. Once a proud and elite order, the mages were well-respected counselors of the kings. Now, they are outlawed by the Inquisition and live a secluded life on the thunder island of Taranis. As the hero of Risen 3, the player can join the guild of the Guardians, to protect and support the Mages and learn the powerful spells of the “crystal magic”.
The Mages are an old circle of wise men who explore the mysterious secrets of magic. Exiled to an extensive abbey in the mountains of Taranis they continue their experiments to create a weapon that can defeat the Titans and set an end to the everlasting threat. As they are no warriors, they recruited a private army of former soldiers as their loyal Guardians. The Guardians are a proud guild and full of support for the plans of their Lords. When the player joins the Guardians, he will profit from magical training and learn the spells of crystal magic while also exercising the combat with armor and sword. Seasoned Guardians advance in the ranks of the Guilds to gain access to exclusive armors and even more powerful spells.
Forsaken by the gods, the perilous world of Risen 3 stands on the brink of ruin, its peoples threatened by a mysterious menace from the darkness. But dark knights are regrouping, driven by ancient convictions and equipped with the best weapons and armor mankind has to offer: the Demon Hunters, at one time a dedicated and privileged cult which has all but sunk into oblivion over the course of centuries...
The Demon Hunters hail from Calador, a rough coastline with a long-standing tradition in the north-west of the world of Risen 3. In the past, rich iron deposits and the superior skill of the region's blacksmiths not only facilitated the construction of a magnificent stronghold, but also furthered the development of an advanced civilization. Once upon a time, the citadel served as a mark of progress, and even now, in its crumbling state, the black-and-gold bulwark still exudes an aura of protection.
But as the dark menace approaches, the time has come for the Demon Hunters to reunite in the former cultural hub of the world and give it fresh life. The new generation of the legendary Demon Hunters, founded by Eldric the druid, lights up the mythical green beacons as a summons to the ancient order of Demon Hunters. Under Eldric's command, the knights recall their bygone power and renew their knowledge of rune magic and its spells. Trained Demon Hunters can cast thunderclaps to throw back enemies, summon shadow creatures to their side, and enhance their strength in battle with spells such as Rune Skin or Rune Blade, making themselves even more resilient and deadly.
The guild's way of life is closely linked to the forces of nature and treasures of the soil. Only the indigenous people, the inhabitants of other regions along the South Sea who are known throughout the sinister world for their voodoo arts, have an even stronger bond with nature.
Every day, the decay of their citadel reminds the Demon Hunters of their negligence over the past decades. Eager for battle, now they face the dark menace, ready to revive the past and fight back the shadows with their mighty axes, hammers, and swords. The time has come for them to restore the Bay of Iron and the massive citadel to their former glory and strike fear into the hearts of their enemies.Forsaken by the gods, the perilous world of Risen 3 stands on the brink of ruin, its peoples threatened by a mysterious menace from the darkness.
