The award-winning developers of the Gothic and Risen series, Piranha Bytes, have released ELEX II, a follow-up to their award-winning role-playing game from the early 2000s called ELEX. You can proceed through the epic plot anyway you like in ELEX II’s return to the post-apocalyptic Science Fantasy world of Magalan, which features vast environments that can be explored with unparalleled freedom via jetpack.

A new threat emerges from the skies a few years after Jax vanquished the Hybrid, unleashing the evil abilities of dark Elex and putting all life on Earth in jeopardy. Jax must undertake a journey to persuade the factions to band together against the invaders and locate his own son in order to defend the peace on Magalan and the safety of his own family.
