THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes have announced the release date for "Elex 2".
Fans don't have to wait long.
The German development studio Piranha Bytes made history with the "Gothic" series.
Especially "Gothic" and "Gothic 2" as well as the expansion "Die Nacht des Raben" are still among the best role-playing games today and make some current titles look pale - even in spite of the badly aged graphics.
With “Elex”, the studio launched a new video game franchise in 2017, which will soon be followed up with “Elex 2”.
When does the title appear?
"Elex 2": Release in March 2022
"Elex 2" was
officially unveiled for the first time
this summer at E3 among colleagues from
GameStar
.
In the meantime, the release date has already been set:
"Elex 2" will appear on March 1, 2022
.
The developers announced this on Twitter.
This is great news for fans, as they only have to wait a few months for the release.

"Elex 2": On which platforms does the game appear?
"Elex 2" will be available on PC, PS4, PS5 *, Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S.
If you haven't been able to get a next-gen console from Sony or Microsoft yet, you don't have to worry.
Publisher THQ Nordic and developer Piranha Bytes have also announced a
Collector's Edition
of "Elex 2", which contains additional material in addition to the game.
These include:
a 23 centimeter collectible figure of a member of the Albs (one of the main factions in "Elex")
a CD with the official soundtrack
the official artbook
a steelbook
a key ring with a cleric amulet
a concept album titled Cassandra by chief developer Björn Pankratz, who also acted as the composer in the predecessor
The Collector's Edition appears on the same day as the Standard Edition, which does
not contain any in-game extras or pre-order bonuses
.
Therefore it is especially interesting for collectors.

"Elex 2": This is what players can expect
The expectations of "Elex 2" are high: The game promises not only an
improvement in the combat system
from the first part, but also
greater freedom of movement
.
In addition, stories and characters are influenced by the
decisions made by the player
- and there will even be a
permadeath
for these characters.
That means: if an important character in the game blesses the temporal, he does not return.
To what extent this affects or limits the progress of the story remains to be seen.
In any case, fans can be excited.
