Piranha doesn't give up! Piranha Bytes studio denied the information about the closure

Last week, the media actively discussed the possible closure of Piranha Bytes - the author of the famous RPGs Gothic, Risen and Elex.

It was assumed that the Swedish holding Embracer Group decided to stop supporting the studio, but has not yet announced it publicly.

Today, finally, the German developers gave their comment on the situation.

Here's What We Know

Piranha Bytes representatives published an appeal to gamers, in which they urged them "not to write them off" ©. The developers admitted that they are in a difficult situation, but emphasised that they continue to work and do not think to stop. Piranha Bytes has a lot of creative ideas, which they hope to realise in the next project.

The last phrase in the post raises questions: it says that the studio is looking for a new partner for game development. Indirectly, it confirms the existence of disagreements between Piranha Bytes and Embracer Group and the fact that the studio may be sold to another company.
