Deep Silver to publish new Piranha Bytes title
New project from Gothic developer
Deep Silver and Gothic developer Piranha Bytes have settled their differences and are working together once more.
However, according to a spokesperson for the publisher, it won't be a fourth instalment in the fantasy role-playing series that Piranha Bytes will be working on. Instead it will focus on a completely new project.
"We aren't speaking about Gothic 4 at all, as it isn't a game that will be released by Piranha Bytes; we are speaking about a new project," the spokesperson told our sister site Eurogamer.
"It will be something that takes advantage of the know-how and knowledge of previous Piranha Bytes games. We expect to have details in roughly a month's time."
Eurogamer recently learned that work was going ahead on a fourth Gothic game without Piranha Bytes' input, and this fresh revelation seems to suggest it will stay that way.
Gothic 3 was released for PC last October. It gained wide critical acclaim and has gone on to shift more than half a million copies worldwide.
