And yet Edan and Abessa combined are still much bigger than Carakis and Ateris, while nu-Ignadon is slightly shrunk compared to the old.
Cool, but Carakis and Ateris don't make up the entirety of Elex 2. PB said it's their biggest game to date, and I doubt they were lying for the sake of it. It might only be slightly larger than the map in Elex 1, but it's definitely not smaller.
Back then it was called the Alb invasion. You know, that thing with the yuge converters sucking the life out of everything everywhere.
