    Game Description

    Shipwrecked and ready for adventure! Come face-to-face with untold mysteries on a dangerous, forbidden island: ancient temples suddenly bursting forth from the earth, monstrous creatures roaming long lost ruins, active volcanoes, treasures from a distant past, and a ruthless inquisitor who rules inside the city walls with an iron fist. Unlock the terrifying secrets of Risen and never be the same again.

    This latest open-world RPG by Piranha Bytes delivers a thrilling edge-ofyour-seat storyline wrapped in a fully immersive sensory experience. Players will enter the Risen world uniquely through mood, emotion, and cultural exploration, in addition to hallmark RPG interactions such as dialogue and combat. A vast reputation system sets a new standard in the genre, lending unparalleled sophistication and subtlety to the gameplay.

    • Vast game world with a variety of stunning, living terrain: beaches, swamps, rocky mountains, active volcanoes, earthquakes, and more.
    • Powerful combat system with quick learning curve. Gain combos and weapons proficiency as you progress. Unique enemies compel deployment of various combat strategies for ultimate success.
    • Graphics engine designed for immediacy and total immersion. Refresh in the light morning breeze or bristle at the scorched earth with visual and aural technology that intensifies the user experience.
    • A one-of-a-kind reputation system creates hyper-realistic social interaction and tracks standing with both groups and individuals. Players will embark on prestige-building quests, engage in secret diplomacy, and factions play against each other.
    • Unique mix of intuitive controls and sophisticated story and gameplay elements make Risen attractive to both new and veteran players.
