ELEX: A Handcrafted, Open-World RPG
Piranha Bytes, creators of the Gothic and Risen series, teams with Nordic Games for its most ambitious project so far







ELEX — which stands for Eclectic, Lavish, Exhilarating, Xenial — will be set in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe that puts players into a huge, seamless game world full of original characters, mutated creatures, deep moral choices and powerful action.
Eclectic is right. Note the display of such disparate elements as monsters, power lines, swordplay, a jet pack and a wrecked car in the screenshots.
Reinhard Pollice, Business & Product Development Director, Nordic Games: To say we are excited to see this new project unfold in the hands of Piranha Bytes is an understatement. ELEX is going to be edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex, and we love it already.
Björn Pankratz, Game Director, Piranha Bytes: Apart from being enthusiastic about the cooperation with Nordic Games, it is great to know, that we will have ample creative freedom with ELEX, which is a very important factor for us. We can’t wait to show you a completely new game experience with a fresh setting, new assets and plenty of possibilities.
Expect to see ELEX in early 2017 on PC/Windows, Xbox One and PS4.
