Piranha Bytes is a German computer game developer known for their Gothic computer role-playing game series. Formerly the name of a now defunct company, the registered trademark and label "Piranha Bytes" was transferred during a management buyout. The company's legal name is now Pluto 13 GmbH.
After disagreements, Piranha Bytes split from JoWood Productions in 2007, their publisher at that time. Due to a contract between the two companies, JoWooD retained some rights to the Gothic name and to current and future games released under this trademark. The specifics of this contract remain confidential.
Until these events, the titles in the Gothic series were the only games Piranha Bytes had produced. They have since announced a new game named Risen.
