Nordic Games, Piranha Bytes unveil open-world action RPG ELEX

Nordic Games and Piranha Bytes have today announced a new project, an open-world action RPG called ELEX, which currently has a Winter 2016/2017 release window for the PC and current-gen consoles.

Not much has been revealed about the project, except that it takes pace in a post-apocalyptic science fantasy universe filled with interesting characters as well as mutated creatures and will consist of a “huge, seamless game world”. Players should also expect intriguing moral choices – one hopes that this will be somewhat similar to the Witcher games in that aspect, given that lack of clear demarcation of traditional good/evil choices and consequences in that particular series, which makes for replayability as well as intriguing gameplay.

The background image on the official website, while only concept art, shows a hooded character with a large sword on his back in a swamp-like area with some structures and mountains looming in the background.
