After a week of rumors, Embracer-owned studio Piranha Bytes, the developer of the Gothic, Risen, and Elex games, has acknowledged that it is in “a difficult situation” but says it’s still trying to find a way forward for its next project. Should it be unable to do so, the studio will be closed. Word of…
