Piranha Bytes, the studio that brought you the Risen and Gothic series of games, has broken cover on their new game ELEX. The upcoming open-world RPG is coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One on October 17 2017.

There’s also a new cinematic trailer, dramatising the player’s journey ‘as they walk the line between the many character progression and faction choices that lay ahead’. These factions, so far, are the Berserkers in Edan, the Albs in Xacor, the Clerics in Ignadon, and the Outlaws in Tavar.

​

ELEX is a science-fantasy, post-apocalypic, action-adventure RPG (lot of hyphens there). Each faction is using the titular Elex, a new element with amazing powers, to shape the land in different ways. Looking pretty cool so far. Or possibly hot. Or possibly a forest.Â
