Risen 3: Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition Announced for PS4

Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes have announced Risen 3: Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition, a port of the title for Sony’s PlayStation 4 console that will include all the DLC released for it and a number of graphical enhancements over even the original PC version. Here’s the press release:

Deep Silver announces Risen 3: Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition for PlayStation 4

Today Deep Silver announced the award-winning, best Role Playing Game of Gamescom 2014, Risen 3: Titan Lords, is coming to PlayStation 4 as an Enhanced Edition on August 21, 2015 for $39.99 (digital only).

Risen 3: Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition is a must-have experience for all fans of gritty atmosphere, adventure and exploration. The Enhanced Edition includes all updates and previously released DLC content (Adventure Grab, Fog Island, Uprising of the Little Guys) presented with a level of graphical quality comparable to the “Ultra” settings on the original PC release. Risen 3: Titan Lords – Enhanced Edition even graphically surpasses the original PC version in a number of areas – with higher resolution textures across the board, the introduction of new state of the art post-process effects such as bokeh depth of field and HDR bloom effect, and an all-new volumetric cloud system that adds even more spectacular skies and sunsets to the dynamic day-night cycles.

The PlayStation 4 version runs at 1080p and at a solid 30FPS. It features advance lighting, shadows and textures that are comparable or better than the PC version on Ultra settings. The Enhanced Edition also includes all DLC released for Risen 3 and native PS4 functionality such as Remote Play, streaming, recording, and Share Play.

Risen’s audience has always been on PC with the (usually inferior) console versions selling pretty poorly, so I have to admit I’m a bit surprised by this, but I suppose a port with a few graphical enhancement shouldn’t be terribly costly to develop.
