Pyranha bytes gone?

[Ch_]

I just heard some rumors hope it is not true but even their page is dead atm.I still hope we will get Elex 3 but this will not be the case it seems. We got to admit that this is not the same PB that gave us Gothic series due to may people left the studio bit still it feels smh sad knowing PB will be only memory. Ehat are your thoughts

Check the many threads on this subject on the various forums for PB games.

It is somewhat sad, but when I look at their latest games, they had it coming all along. Björn Pankratz always seemed way to stubborn to change his "formula" and adapt to his games' weaknesses. And that's what finally caught up with them, sunk the ship and got them devoured by piranhas...

Also it was a bad idea from the publishers to release Elex 2 a couple of days after Elden Ring dropped. Didn't even know it was out for months and only read about it's desaterous launch and state. And it's odd design choices.

I don't know what's going on with the Embracer Group exactly and I don't really care. There are some vids about that too that cover some background stories.
It might be that an Elex 3 can still happen somehow...don't know. It's not even a good idea when they'd just continue their path.
At best do your own research!

I think it's better to close a studio than to milk the name (like Bioware/Blizzard/etc...). Maybe he'll restart somehow. Maybe not.
I am thankful for the memories of countless hours of joy and excitement in the early 2000s that I had when playing G1+2.

With PB closing does that mean the remake is dead in the water?

No! Gothic 1 Remake is being developed by Alkimia Interactive, not by Piranha Bytes. This doesn't affect on us anyhow.

TBH I only ever liked Risen 1
the other two and ELEX are just bad games

that's an opinion btw, not a fact, nobody get upset over it

♥♥♥♥ Embracer and these money hungry conglomerates. They are the absolute enemy of creative and passionate studios.

I hope this is not true. I like the games that Piranha bytes does well except for risen 2 and risen 3 as they were pirate theme and it does not match with medival concept the games was, I had some issues with elex 2 of the changes they made but overall I liked elex 2.

I definitely going to buy Gothic 1 remake. Its where I began my journey into the gothic series. Gohtic 3 is my favorite even if it had issues as launch but years later it was fixed. Risen 1 was also good.

If the Piranha team wanted to make a new gothic game, that would have been cool but maybe Björn wanted to finish the elex story first before starting something new as they made gothic 1-2-3 and risen 1-2-3. Although I Hope the story of elex would not take us to space. Elex 2 story should have stayed on the magalan world with the humans and mutants. Maybe it should been about mutants getting smarter and organized and becoming the games Orcs or Orks :) as there was trolls and ogres in the game. Also wished the Old Berserkers from goliet still be in the game.

Well just have to wait and see how it will go for Piranha Bytes. I hope they be ok and the studio making the gothic 1 remake.

How do you define they are in a bit trouble? Studio Boss was fired other Piranja Bytes members followed [1]. Not Sure how they percept the posts of the Barcelona (Spain) Studio above.

Ah, a well informed insider...XD.

Lies lieber nochmal durch. Da und sonst auch nirgendwo steht was von "gefeuert" und nach offiziellen Angeben von PB selbst auf deren Medien, versuchen sie die Sache noch zu "retten". Obs bei PB bleibt oder ein anderer Studioname mit alter Leitung und mit anderern Mitarbeitern wird, weiß gerade keiner,..jedenfalls niemand der uns Infos zugänglich machen kann.
Vllt. tritt eine Reinkarnation des kurzlebigen "Piranha Bytes RED" wieder in Kraft...XD.
