Risen developer Piranha Bytes' new project is ELEX, an open-world action role-playing game, the studio and publisher Nordic Games announced today.

Nordic launched a teaser site earlier this week with a countdown clock ticking down to the full reveal today. ELEX is the first collaboration between Piranha Bytes and Nordic; Deep Silver published the first two Risen games, and is also publishing Risen 3: Titan Lords, which launches this August.

ELEX — which is an acronym for "eclectic, lavish, exhilarating, xenial" — takes place in a "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," according to a press release from Nordic. The word xenial describes hospitality, or a cordial relationship between a host and guest.

"ELEX is going to be edgy, dark, uncompromising, complex, and we love it already," said Reinhard Pollice, business and product development director at Nordic Games. While details are scarce at this point, Pollice added that Piranha Bytes will exhibit ELEX at Gamescom 2015 next month.

ELEX is in development on Windows PC and "current gen console platforms," according to Nordic Games. Asked for clarification, a Nordic Games representative told Polygon that Piranha Bytes is "targeting" PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. ELEX is scheduled to be released next winter — late 2016 or early 2017.

xenial - post-apocalyptic world?

Or is "xenial" newspeak for "casual friendly"?

 

[Metro]

Although I take it from Crooked Bee and Infinitron lack of interest I'll be receiving the Codex review copy.

Lack of interest --> we won't even ask for one

Xenial: of, relating to, or constituting hospitality or relations between host and guest and especially among the ancient Greeks between persons of different cities <xenial relationship> <xenialcustoms>

Well, if nothing else, I learned a new word today.

No prob, I'll ask for it on your behalf.

So... wait... it's dark and edgy but... everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Risen 3 already has guns. And, yes, I got your joke, newfag.

 

[Angthoron]

And here I was, hoping it had to do with Elekks and stuff.

I think they meant hospitable, that even if it's an PA world, people can still create villages and stuff, like in the art I pasted.

I think they just came up with some hip word the marketing guys thought was cool and then went to the dictionary to find words that fit.

 

[Jimmious]

The real question is if they have housing and how good it will be. Fighting the competition , you know?

I hope it has crafting and romances, that'd give it an edge over Dark Souls 3.

Post apocalyptic? But why the swords and medieval houses and fantasy landscape in the artwork? Doesn't make sense...
