Say hello to Elex, brought to us by Nordic Games and Piranha Bytes. Elex is an Science Fantasy Open-world RPG slated for Winter ‘16/’17 on PC and current consoles.

“To say we are excited to see this new project unfold in the hands of Piranha Bytes is an understatement. Elix is going to be edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex, and we love it already.” Says Nordic’s Buisness & Product Development Director, Reinhard Pollice. “We will be premiering a vertical slice build at Gamescom 2015, more info will be released in due time.”

“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” commented Bjorn Pankratz, Game Director of Piranha Bytes. “We can’t wait to show you a completely new game experience with a fresh setting, new assets and plenty of possibilities.”

I, myself can’t wait for more news on this game, I’m sure a game from the maker of Darksiders and Gothic will make a fine baby. Check out their forum to chat and while currently very basic Elex’s website currently has a short description of what the game aims to be.
