News: A new trailer has just been released to showcase some of what you can expect from Elex later this year.

THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes have just released a new prologue trailer for their upcoming sci-fi/fantasy action RPG, Elex. This prologue trailer recounts the events on Magalan, home to a civilization of millions, after the comet hit; earthquakes shattered its cities and firestorms swept the planet. As Magalan fell into darkness, the survivors faced a world that was unrecognizable. The prologue leads up to the point where players will be thrown into this world, now controlled by a substance called Elex.

Developed by Piranha Bytes, creators of the award-winning Gothic and Risen series, Elex is a handcrafted action role-playing experience set in a post-apocalyptic science-fantasy universe, and puts players into a huge, seamless open world full of original characters, mutated creatures, deep moral choices and powerful action. From swords and axes to bows, crossbows and harpoons, Elex offers one of the widest selection of weaponry in the history of role-playing. Pick up a shotgun, power up a plasma rifle or unleash a flamethrower – there’s a weapon and combat style for every fighter out there. Then find a companion, choose a faction and influence the world; in Elex, every choice will forge the future of your game.

Elex is slated to release later this year on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Take a look at the prologue trailer below and tell us what you think. Are you looking forward to Elex being released?
