Upcoming Open-World Action RPG ‘ELEX’ Has a New Trailer

When science meets fantasy!

ELEX is an upcoming open-world action RPG by Piranha Bytes. There is one thing that separates ELEX from the likes of it and it is that ELEX combines science and fantasy in the best possible way.

ELEX is set in Magalan; a beautiful planet which was advanced in technology, civilized and home to billions, supposed to have a brilliant future. But then, the meteor hit. With the meteor, there came Elex. A limited power source that can power machines, open doors to magic and re-shape life itself.

ELEX offers us a chance to combine elements which are specific to science or fantasy. We can wield a sword or use a laser gun or use magic, thanks to Elex. You may think Elex as Adam from Bioshock which gives people great magic-like powers, and is a factor in deciding whether emotion and humaneness or cold synthetic logic will rule the world of Magalan. If you have the power to control your addiction to Elex, you can use it on your benefit, but if you don’t you will crush under its power.

A new trailer of ELEX shows off three classes of Magalan: Beserkers, Clerics, and Outlaws. Berserkers used Elex to obtain magic, Clerics used it to have advanced technology and finally, Outlaws used it to turn themselves Elex addicts. Like I’ve mentioned before, some of these addicts are powerful enough to control Elex, they can harness the substance and become super-humans, yet they have to give up their emotions.

As the protagonist of the game, we will find ourselves recovering from a crash in a glider jet. We will go through withdrawal from ELEX, experience emotions for the first time in our life, and classify as a traitor to our kind.

Here are the key features of ELEX:

  • Sci-Fi Meets Fantasy: A post-apocalyptic universe that seamlessly blends science-fiction and fantasy elements.
  • Reason vs. Emotion: The player decides what concept shapes the future of the planet; there’s no right or wrong.
  • 100% Authentic: The game AI watches every step of the player and brings the world alive.
  • Epic Combat System: The complex combat system and total control over the characters enable you to “read” your enemies.
  • Jetpack Frenzy: Jetpack makes vertical exploration so much easier and offers a whole new dimension of new opportunities.
  • RPG True to its Name: The player’s decisions influence the course of the entire game.

ELEX is a combination of great gameplay and marvellous story, and these two are hard to come by these days. ELEX aims a Q3 2017 launch.

Stay tuned for more!
