Deep Silver, the publisher behind this year's Dead Island, has announced that their upcoming game Risen 2: Dark Waters will be releasing April 24. In this sequel to the 2009 game Risen (which, to be honest, flew below my radar), it seems as though "monstrous sea creatures" are causing quite a ruckus for a little harbor town called Caldera.
Screenshots and official press release below.

About Risen 2: Dark Waters
In Risen 2: Dark Waters, the Inquisition dispatches the hero to seek a remedy against the monstrous sea creatures that are interfering with the shipping lines, thus cutting off the islands' supplies. The pirates seem to know how to deal with these critters ... but they are hardly cooperative.
New gameplay elements add to the diversity of Risen 2; for example, players can also use firearms now. And, being pirates, adventurers can also employ special new skills called Dirty Tricks, allowing them to confuse or attack enemies in combat.
Deep Silver will release Risen 2: Dark Waters for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC, and PlayStation®3.
