Risen, the upcoming role-playing game developed by Piranha Bytes and published by Deep Silver, has reached gold status, which means the game is complete and is now in production. It’s a good status to be in when the game is scheduled to ship October 2nd on PC. The Xbox 360 version however, is expected to be released early next year.

Promising an innovative and intuitive user control interface, suiting both casual and advanced players of the genre, we will be taken through the Risen story in four chapters, each of which develops the story in a unique and different way. And it’s set in a medieval world on a volcanic Mediterranean island. That means, it’s epic. October 2nd, remember that.
