Nordic Games and Gothic series developer Piranha Bytes have revealed a brand new, open world, fantasy RPG for both current-generation consoles and PC.

The new game, dubbed simply Elex, is set for a release sometime in the winter of 2016/2017.

“To say we are excited to see this new project unfold in the hands of Piranha Bytes is an understatement. ELEX is going to be edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex, and we love it already,“ said Reinhard Pollice Business & Product Development Director at Nordic Games. “We will be premiering a vertical slice build at Gamescom 2015, more info will be released in due time.”

While details are currently scant, the game is described as an “eclectic, lavish, exhilarating, xenial open-world RPG,” which is where the title/acronym Elex comes from.

Piranha Bytes are building the world in a post-apocalyptic, science fantasy setting, where players can expect a “huge, seamless game world” filled with “original characters, mutated creatures, deep moral choices and powerful action.”
