THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes managed to keep the studio’s new game under wraps until it was announced, and ELEX II was officially announced.
After ELEX I, the planet Magalan spent years in peace, the old factions disappeared, and they were replaced. The Berserkerls are reshaping the land, the Albs are no longer a threat. But our hero Jax is aware of the imminent new danger and has to gather different factions to face this darkness.
ELEX II is a sequel to ELEX, a classic open-world role-playing experience offered by Piranha Bytes, the award-winning creators of the Gothic and Risen series. ELEX II returns to magalan, the post-apocalyptic science-fantasy world. With huge environments to explore with unrivalled freedom through jetpack, you’ll be able to move the way you want in this epic story.
A few years after Jax defeated hybrid, a new threat came from the sky, unleashing the dangerous powers of dark Elex and endangering all life on the planet. To defend the tranquillity in Magalan and his own family, Jax must go on a mission to persuade different groups to unite against the invaders and to find his son Dex, who has been separated from him…
Obviously ELEX wasn’t such a great game, but it promised potential. In my review of the magazine, he gave a note of 7, “You will either love or hate; I’m afraid that’s not the case with Piranha Bytes games. Maybe with patches there will be a very good RYO in the future.” Indeed, Piranha Bytes gradually manned the game after its release.
ELEX II will be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series, and the release date is not yet set.
