- Post a comment In a new interview with German YouTube channel Rocket Beans TV, Piranha Bytes revealed some new information about its new open world action RPG, ELEX. ELEX will be a third person RPG in a post apocalyptic world where people have different levels of technology. The game is inspired by Star Wars, will let players use a jetback, and targets a Q4 2016 release.
- In dev since ~ 1,5 years
-third person RPG like Risen or Gothic
- post apocalyptic, people having different levels of technology ( a
bit like Horizon)
- Enemies won't level with you
- one big continent instead of Islands like in Risen
- Going to have of different regions (desert, woods, ice and swamp
mentioned)
- Player is going to have a Jetpack !
- Every player starts at the same place (in Risen apparently players
could start at different Islands, didn't played the Risen games so I
can't comment on that)
- Elex is a Substance from space and came to the world because of a
meteorite
- Game plays hundreds of years after crash
- Elex changed fauna and flora
- By consuming Elex you get stronger and Magic abilities, But you
"degenerate" and Loose Emotion, acting more like machine (acting based
on logic, not emotions) than a human being. Elex consumers also have
different skin color (white/gray)
- wrong usage can result into mutations
- Thats why Moral System is not simply about whether you are good or
bad, instead it's about whether you are a human or more like machine.
Beeing more like machine isn't necessary a bad and being human a good
thing
- in the word of the game Elex is a wanted resource, you consume it or
put in machines ( eg. Jetpack) the Some guild can use it without the
side effect and calls it Mana. Elex is essential and you have to youse
it in some way
- is inspired by Star Wars (by having Fantasy and Sci Fi Elements)
- Player was someone who heavily consumed Elex, was a commander in a
military Group which are Elex users. before the game starts his glider
got shots and he lies some were for three weeks, so without Elex he is
more human again when the game starts. For the first time he feels
Emotions and sees the world different, similar to the Movie Equilibrium
- Normal people don't like him because he fought against them when he
was part of the military group, but he also have problems to connect
with his old group
- target Q4 2016 PC/Xbox One/PS4
