During Gamescom 2015, Piranha Bytes and Nordic Games announced their partnership on the ELEX project. The developers of Gothic and Risen have now switched setting to Sci-fi. ELEX, which apparently stands for eclectic, lavish, exhilarating and xenial, according to the developers 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.

　　Some new images were released during PAX East and we've even spotted the first off-screen gameplay footage via Nordic Games' Instagram account.
