Does that mean that Risen 3 was just an afterthought and money grab and they did not put the best people on it? Moreover, does that mean that they will not be supporting Risen 3 anymore (with patches, balance fixes, improvements .. etc.)?
PB only has one team. Pretty much everybody works on the current project. It's standard industry practice to slowly cook a 2nd game in pre-production though because all these specialized developers need work when their job on the current game is done. At some point, probably months before release, all dialogs and quests are written, all 3D models created and all functionality implemented.
Nothing is known about the contract situation between PB and DS. Maybe they made a deal about 3 games, maybe they first made the first and then signed for the other two. We simply don't know ... and we don't need to know. The only thing that's clear is that PB needed to sign a contract quickly after the G3 disaster.
