There's a pun in here somewhere: Risen coming out October 2 photo

Publisher Deep Silver has revealed that the upcoming role-playing game, Risen, will rise on October 2, 2009. By “rise” we mean that’s when it comes out. See what we did there? That’s clever, right?

The game is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PC by Piranha Bytes (also a clever pun!), the same folks who brought you Gothic. Risen is currently it its beta phase, with game proper being completed, the dialogue recorded, and a whole bunch of quality assurance teams on the case to make sure any bugs haven’t risen up during the game’s development.

Unfortunately, we’re out of stupid puns, but encourage you to drop a few in the comments.

Well, I suppose we can just hope that the developer has risen to the challenge of creating a rich, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

Good to know they are spending so much time on quality control. The Gothic games were pretty buggy when they first release. Hopefully this means we won't see the rise of gameplay breaking bugs.
