ELEX II Released [Mar 01, 2022, 4:12 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
ELEX II is now available for Windows on
GOG.com and
Steam, offering
a sequel to Piranha Bytes' sci-fi, open-world action/RPG. The
Release Trailer shows
off its retro-futuristic vibe, while rocking out to a tune from retro-futuristic
punk Billy Idol. Here's the pitch:
Get ready! Starting today, players around the globe can become the hero of Magalan. Science-Fantasy-RPG ELEX II is launching today for PC and consoles, offering a vibrant open world to explore including five major factions each with their own story arc for the players to join and experience. Magalan is full of fantastic creatures, hidden secrets, and fascinating vista - there are no limits for explorers, you can go and visit every place you see in-game. And thanks to Jax’s improved jetpack, exploration just got a lot more interesting. Traveling by jetpack allows you to fly up that old skyscraper or float down like a feather into a deep underground cave without breaking Jax's legs.

The original looked interestingly odd... I didn't think it did that well to warrant a sequel.
This company however had some decent titles in early 2000s with Gothic and Risen. Those were pretty cool back then.
Yeah, most of the original designers/developers are long gone. One of the main guys (Alexander Brüggemann) who designed Gothic passed away in 2013 (who also designed The Settlers: Rise of an Empire), and I think the rest left the company years ago. They had some crazy financial issues early on that ended up in court. All sorts of f**ked up sh!t. I'm really hoping that the Gothic remake sees the light of day, as it's pretty much the best rpg I've ever played.
But this game? Eh... I'll wait for a sale if I buy it at all
