New Screenshots Rise From The Depths

Deep Silver unleashes new images from Risen 2: Dark Waters

31st January 2012 – Hampshire, UK/… Today Deep Silver released new and exciting screenshots from the epic pirate RPG Risen 2: Dark Waters, due for UK release April 27th 2012.

In Risen 2: Dark Waters, the Inquisition dispatches the hero to seek a remedy against the monstrous sea creatures that are interfering with the shipping lines, thus cutting off the islands’ supplies. The pirates seem to know how to deal with these critters … but they are hardly cooperative.

New gameplay elements add to the diversity of Risen 2; for example, players can also use firearms now. And, being pirates, adventurers can also employ special new skills called Dirty Tricks, allowing them to confuse or attack enemies in combat.

Deep Silver will release Risen 2: Dark Waters for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, and PlayStation®3.
