Welcome to the world of Piranha Bytes‘ Risen 2, where over 70% of the NPCs are drunk off their behinds.

If you haven’t read our preview of the game, you may not know that publisher Deep Silver is getting ready to unleash an unapologetic old-school RPG… with pirates! That’s right, ye landlubber. The label behind Dead Island is publishing what looks to be one of the more original settings for a roleplaying game, complete with swashbuckling, monsters and Voodoo magic. That’s right. Who do Voodoo? You do Voodoo in Risen 2… 2.

You can check out four, count ‘em FOUR, new gameplay videos right here. We’ve also got some new screenshots… including one of a fairly hairy, unwelcoming arachnid.

Risen 2 arrives on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on May 22, 2012.
