Official Risen Experience Web Site Invites Players To Enjoy First Adventures

Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, a leading producer and distributor of digital entertainment products, and developer Piranha Bytes announced the launch of the first level of the official experience Web site for Risen. More content will be made available before the release of the game.

Just like Risen, the new RPG from Piranha Bytes, the Web site offers different approaches for mastering the challenges that players encounter. From the beach, a path leads into a dense tropical forest — what dangers may lurk there, and where is the best direction to turn? By keeping a close eye on their surroundings, players can discover all kinds of secrets here. Wild beasts and odd creatures haunt the twisted paths that lead deep into the interior of the island. Watch out, or you may be in for a nasty surprise!

The already familiar Risen blog, which provides topical news about the development of the game, is also continued and keeps offering fans all kinds of information from the world of Risen.
