Probably the best-kept secret is finally getting revealed: The next Piranha Bytes Game is indeed ELEX II. Surprise! The original Elex was a very strange game that I have a very love/hate relationship with. It was brutal to a fault, but there was clearly something just under the surface that kept pulling me back. Hell, I’ve reinstalled the game multiple times on my Xbox One just to give it another shot; each time getting farther and deeper into the adventure.
The planet Magalan has seen some rather peaceful years after the Events of ELEX I: old factions have been vanquished, new factions have risen. The Berserkers’ attempts to regrow and terraform the lands have started to bear fruit.
After the defeat of the Hybrid, the Albs are no longer a threat. However, our hero – Jax – returns with knowledge of a new menace that’s casting a shadow over Magalan. It falls to Jax to unite these different factions together to face this darkness together.
ELEX II is in development for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series S/X. There is no official release date yet. ELEX II can be wishlisted now on Steam: http://n.thq.com/8hMK30rKhCV
