The pirate RPG will now board store shelves on 3rd August in Europe. Console versions of the game will be released on the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.
The console versions of Risen 2: Dark Waters will offer extra content on both platforms, including the episode “The Air Temple” which features several hours of additional gameplay.

When he hears rumors that his old acquaintance Eldric has been seen in Antigua, the hero knows that he needs to pick up his trail in order to find Storm Island, where the Air Temple is located.
Risen 2: Dark Waters for Windows PC is unaffected and on its charted course, having already gone into production and is ready to lift anchor on 27th April 2012. The game will be released via digital distribution for PC and as a retail version for both PC and consoles. Additionally, an exclusive Risen 2 Collector’s Edition will be available in certain territories.
About Risen 2: Dark Waters
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.
