The official Steam store page for ELEX went live, revealing some new screenshots for this open world action RPG, as well as its PC minimum requirements. ELEX is described as the most ambitious project for Piranha Bytes and Nordic Games to date, and is scheduled for an early 2017 release.
ELEX is a handcrafted action role-playing experience, set in a brand new post-apocalyptic Science Fantasy universe that puts players into a huge seamless game world full of original characters, mutated creatures, deep moral choices and powerful action.
Here are the game’s PC minimum requirements. Do note that these are preliminary system specs, meaning that they could change:

Their last few games were terrible. Not excited for this but will keep an open mind about possibilities.
I liked them, not the best but certainly not terrible imo. Definitely not to everyone’s taste though.
Maybe, but they are a huge step down from the first 2 Gothics.
They are.
This better not be another risen reskin. With the same combat system same ai, same upgrade system same trainer nonsense same faction nonsense. Stop just stop.
Risen was a pirate game only in theme. The fact this game is supposedly “post apocalyptic” hints that it will have something to replace the molerats and bloodflys and the whole combat will work with the same melee system and ofcourse guns will be the same joke they were in risen. I wonder what they will replace magic with, last time it was voodoo.
Make a new game already piranha bytes.
They will, maybe, but as newly formed Piranha Bytes Red. Piranha Bytes is dead. They can’t make a good game, because there’s nobody left from the creators of the Gothic series. Most of the people left after Risen 1, and Michael Hoge left after Risen 2 (he wasn’t at charge since Risen 1).
they still played the same
Risen 1 was a basically, a Gothic 1 remake. After that everything went to sheet, and mind you, not because they are the same. It’s exactly the opposite. They forgot what made the Gothic series so successful back in the days.
i gave up on risen 1 on the lizzard temple it was MEH.
Co-op, please!!!
I really hope this game have the same immersive qualities of gothic and risen. I hope the game can be played without minimaps, magic maps, quest markers and other rubbish that plagues rpg’s and gaming in general these days.
ELEX? Sounds like cheap generic supermarket name or a low-quality Hungarian set of tools. I sincerely hope they will change the name…
I always thought Risen 2 had so much potential but I just couldn’t get into it. Too much like Risen 1.
It better not be a broken mess like the other games. I closed my eyes for Risen 1, because i did like it and it was their first Risen game but 2 and 3 kept having the same bugs and issues…
I think its time that they start working on some of the problems.
I still think that Gothic 3 with community patch applied is one of the best RPG game of all time. Sad that they can’t seem to recreate that magic again. Just from the screenshot i already hate the look, why can’t we have an RPG with not so dark & contrast look? I freaking love how Gothic 3 & Oblivion & Fallout 4 look.
yeah… no thanks.
here we go again with the minimum requirements releasing so sad.
The requirements would suggest a contemporary game, the screenshots show a game that can barely keep up with last-gen open world games. Barely. You can clearly see untextured elements, 100% flat planes, the scale being off on some elements… I wonder why they release screenshots as unfinished as these. You’d think that for carefully chosen angles you could polish some areas up if your intention is to create buzz for your new game. Instead they are releasing this poor Fallout 4 immitation that looks like a rough prototype to serve as a playground for gameplay development. Of course all games look like this at one point but why release screenshots of it? They only have one more year (if that early 2017 estimate is sincere) for the production of an OPEN WORLD GAME, they really should have some polished areas at this stage.
Prediction: MAJOR DELAY, possibly into 2018, or unfinished release.
Ah, the makers of Risen invite you to play yet another game that is exactly the same as the last one!
