Looks like it's a bit more than just a simple marketing cooperation. Especially the last paragraph is juicy:
Deep Silver / Koch Media handles at least two RPG brands: Sacred and Risen. New forum posts hint they'll also continue their cooperation with Piranha Bytes.
The full PR can be found for example on Southpeak's website.
More information.
Maybe the reports that Risen's retail availability in North America still had room for improvement were correct.SouthPeak Interactive and Koch Media's Deep Silver Announce Strategic Alliance in North America
