Fourth Character Revealed From Risen 2: Dark Waters

Deep Silver introduces the courageous and proud Chani…

16th February 2012 – Hampshire, UK/… Today Deep Silver revealed another character from the epic pirate RPG Risen 2: Dark Waters, due for UK release April 27th 2012.

Courageous and full of pride, Chani is the daughter of the chief of the Shaganumbi tribe.

Chani has spent her entire life in the village of the Earthclan, and despised the expansion plans of the Inquisition, and the appearance of marauding pirates in her home.

As a strong-minded voodoo witch  with a gift in magical talents, she is dedicated to the protection of her people. She defends with the strength of the people of her tribe against the dangers and rise of evil within and outside the community.

The nameless hero meets Chani on his travels; she shows him that “savages” are perfectly able to defend themselves against invaders!

Chani is torn between seeing the nameless hero as a threat to her and her people and deciding if he is her only hope in helping her stop the evil that lies ahead.

Quote: “Shall I jinx him?”

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.

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