Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes have released another update for Risen 3. The Enhanced Edition provides a 64bit version of the game which utilises several of the advantages of the broader CPU registers (like the larger address space).

In their press release, Deep Silver writes:

The Enhanced Edition offers a graphical quality level comparable with the "Ultra" settings on the original PC release of Risen 3: Titan Lords and even surpasses this originals visuals 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, and an all-new volumetric cloud system that adds even more spectacular skies and sunsets to Risen 3’s dynamic day/night cycles.

Also included are all previous updates and the DLCs.

With a total of 7 gigabytes, the patch is no small download, however.

Valve has yet another sale running. All games of the Risen series can be added to your Steam library with 80% off the regular price.

Hence, those who do not have a problem with the platform can make a snatch.

The "Midweek Madness" ends on August 21. If you miss it, don't throw yourself out the window just yet. It will probably not be the last of its kind.

UPDATE: Yes, yes it is! In a recently updated background picture from the ELEX website, we can clearly see the elements from the Teaser picture posted by Piranha Bytes!



ORIGINAL NEWS:
As we have shared on our Facebook Page, thanks to the detecive work by our forum members ravenhearth and eddievedder, the following clues come to light:

1. The image shared by PB yesterday and the background image from website fit almost perfectly.
2. Piranha Bytes and Nordic Games have a great working relation, the latter being the current publisher for the Gothic games.
3. Lars Wingefors (CEO of Nordic Games) liked PB's binary picture.
4. THQ, owned by Nordic, promoted ELEX on their page.
5. The blurred logo on ELEX website was incredibly similar to PB's logo. After that was noticed, it was replaced by the logo of the defunct company named Vigil Games, owned again by NG, it seems as a messure to keep the secret.
