Arrr me hearties, shiver me timbers, and other clichéd piratical utterings: set sail for Steam to grab a PC demo for Risen 2: Dark Waters, the naughtily nautical RPG sequel from Piranha Bytes. Risen 2 hoisted its mainsail in April but critics didn’t much like the cut of its jib; it docks on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in August. Also, swab the decks.

Risen 2: Dark Waters releases on PC tomorrow, so to get you pumped for it, Piranha Bytes and Deep Silver have released the launch trailer. The console version of the game will be released in the UK on August 3 with the additional episode The Air Temple Console.

Risen 2: Dark Waters has been delayed on consoles until July 31 in the US and August 3 in Europe. The news was posted on the game’s on the game’s Facebook page. The release of the PC version remains unaffected and will still hit stores on April 27. A reason for the delay wasn’t provided, but we’ve contacted Deep Silver for further information.

Deep Silver and Piranha Bytes have released the fifth episode of its six part making-of series for Risen 2, which lays out the different fighting options in the game. It also explains how fighting is just one of the options, and how different styles – such as avoiding the fight altogether – can solve in-game quests just as much as brawn. Players will be able to sheath their swords and in its stead use voodoo to accomplish their goals, and even a few dirty tricks here and there. It’s all very interesting and detailed in the video diary below. Risen 2 is set for release in the UK April 27 on PC and May 25 on PS3 and Xbox 360.

If having a demented ship doctor named Bones in the game wasn’t enough to make you want Risen 2, maybe fighting off a Kraken will finally sway you.

You can see the ocean beast yourself rather briefly in the video below. Risen 2 is set for release in the UK April 27 on PC and May 25 on PS3 and Xbox 360.
