EB: When Elex eventually launches it looks to offer a very deep action RPG experience. It has 300,000 lines of dialogue, so all characters are voiced, and the main campaign alone is about 80 hours long. I really loved the look of the world, and the completely unique styles for all three of the factions. I do believe Elex will offer an enjoyable tale that is different in every sense of the word for those who take on its challenges thanks to the demo I was treated to. I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on it, and I encourage others to follow its path towards release, because it has potential to be a memorable gaming experience if it fulfills the aspirations of its creators.
There's quite a treat coming for fans of Gothic and games by the Piranhas - Elex 2 - the sequel to the studio's latest IP. We've asked two of the devs, Bjorn and Jenny Pankratz of Piranha Bytes, about what it was like to develop a game like this.
I'd love to see them prioritize quality over quantity for once. The jank in their games is pretty severe.
I started playing Elex 1 recently and I am loving it. Really looking forward playing the sequel next year
Elex might very well be one of the better Piranha Bytes games of the decade. But how does it fare in direct comparison to Gothic? Can it reach the heights of the celebrated classic? An in-depth review.
I liked the Risen series, but ELEX was easily their best game since Gothic 2, and definitely gave me similar vibes.
Risen 1 was awesome, despite being a bit of a broken game. I never played Elex, maybe I will pick it up at some point.
Rumor is they are working on a new Gothic game.
THQ Nordic announced that the acquisition of the Piranha Bytes team, trademark and the intellectual property Gothic has been finalized, as well as the rights to Risen and ELEX.
i wish them the best of luck reviving these dead brands with a different team :/ i can‘t see how something good can be produced under these circumstances.
THQ is quickly becoming a powerhouse. Now let take back that WWE license from Take Two.
That was an, err, interesting choice?
Piranha is one those studios where you see the potential, then experience the reality
Big fan of PB's games. Not for everyone, but good RPGs.
Here's to hoping for a strong future.
i hope it's good
I love their games but this animation isn't cutting it anymore.
my most anticipated game, day 1.
