Actual news: two of the former leads (Jennifer and Björn Pankratz) founded a new studio: Pithead Studios

I guess they can't carry over any old IP, but at least we might get more Gothic-like games.

Oh man, I hope so!

I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.

Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I'm playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it's just a bottle of Rum.
