Risen 2: Dark Waters trailer commands you to watch

Add as a preferred source on Google

The properties attached to publisher Deep Silver’s games are beginning to take on a fairly epic tint. The publisher’s previous trailer for the game Dead Island was so well received that it garnered the attention of Hollywood and started a bidding war. It also brought the game from relative obscurity to the forefront of people’s minds, plus it was slightly amazing in general. Of course the trailer had very little to do with the actual gameplay and it was developed by a third party company with no connection to the game other than that they were hired to make the trailer, but why let details stand in the way of a good video.

Although not quite as heavy on style as the Dead Island trailer, and it actually seems to have something to do with the plot of the game, the newly released trailer for Risen 2: Dark Waters is still pretty solid. As for the game, it is too early to tell how it will all play out, but we did manage to gain a first-look a few weeks back at GDC.

Thankfully, that silence finally seems to be ending.

Ubisoft has confirmed that it will share Ghost Recon news on August 6, when the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. The announcement arrived shortly after fresh leaks began circulating online, prompting the company to post a brief message telling fans that more information is just around the corner.

The AI game-dev boom has a dark side: fewer jobs for the people starting out
Solo creators are thriving with tools like Claude Code and Copilot, but entry-level game roles are disappearing.

AI is making it easier than ever for a single person to build a game. That sounds like a win for creativity, and in many ways, it absolutely is. But there is a catch. As generative AI tools help solo developers and small studios do more with fewer people, the same shift is making life tougher for writers, artists, concept creators, and junior programmers trying to break into the gaming industry.
