ELEX, a new open-world RPG for PC and current generation consoles, will launch in winter 2016/17, Nordic Games and Piranha Bytes (Gothic series) have announced.

The new game is described as an action RPG set in a brand new 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.

“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,” said Reinhard Pollice business & product development director at Nordic Games.

Pollice revealed that a “vertical slice build” of ELEX will be premiered at Gamescom in August.

Björn Pankratz, game director at Piranha Bytes, added: “We can’t wait to show you a completely new game experience with a fresh setting, new assets and plenty of possibilities.”
