ELEX II Preview

Following their recent interview with Piranha Bytes, the team behind the upcoming sci-fi RPG ELEX II, WCCFTech now brings us this preview focusing on the game’s new and improved features that include greater freedom of movement, overhauled combat system, and expanded party interactions.

Here’s something to get you started:

Before that, let’s talk gameplay. Much like other Piranha Bytes titles, this is eurojank. That isn’t a bad thing, though; this is an endearing term. Games that fit this term are janky. They often lack the polish expected in large releases, but the developers’ drive to expand both gameplay mechanics and story are almost always impressive in scope. ELEX II looks like it’s keeping up this trend.

How? Well, it’s a huge open world, and you have a jetpack. Isn’t that enough? No? Well, as you can see from the gameplay reveal at the bottom of this preview, the game will feature this jetpack and multiple other aspects. The open world appears to have various biomes to explore, including an old ruined cityscape, all designed to take advantage of the ultimate freedom of movement.
