The closure of Embracer-owned studios continues — this time it’s developer Piranha Bytes that’s reportedly shut down. Piranha Bytes is behind the Gothic, Risen, and Elex series.
I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.
Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I’m playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it’s just a bottle of Rum.
Actual news: two of the former leads (Jennifer and Björn Pankratz) founded a new studio: Pithead Studios
I guess they can’t carry over any old IP, but at least we might get more Gothic-like games.
Oh man, I hope so!
