Piranha Bytes open-world RPGs

If you like starting powerless and working for standing in harsh open worlds, these eight Piranha Bytes RPGs let you pick sides, learn skills and shape what happens next.

If you want dense action RPGs where you begin weak and rise by training, exploring and backing the right group, you will find that pattern across this studio catalog. Gothic 1 Classic places you inside a walled mining prison where survival means finding allies and learning trades, while Risen leaves you on wild Faranga to grow from outsider into fighter or mage. ELEX carries the same structure into a broken world of machines and strange energy, where siding with different groups changes how people treat you.
