Piranha Bytes should be a familiar name to those who've dabbled in the Gothic and Risen series. Their newest project, Elex, is due out in about a week's time. A slight departure from the fantasy universes of the past series, Elex is said to be 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."
After a meteor hits Magalan, four factions are left battling over Elex, a resource that can power machines and give magic abilities at the cost of turning users emotionless. The player character is an Alb, grown on Elex from a young age. However, after a glider crash he finds himself without access to the resource, feelign emotions for the first time. The title will emphasize both combat and role-playing elements with the choices your characters make determining his standing with the four factions that inhabit Magalan, all of which have different philosophies, and the direction the world will be taken in. Elex is set to release on the 17th of October on PC, Xbox One and PS4. Elex is now available for pre-order for the discounted price of 44,99€ or your regional equivalent. Have a look at the game's website for more info.
