After keeping the development process a secret, THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes have surprisingly announced their sequel title ELEX II. The plan’s to send players back to the world of Magalan to face off against new enemies called Skyanides, who want to change the face of the planet forever. They don’t have a release date yet, but they are developing it for PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

The planet Magalan has seen some rather peaceful years after the events of ELEX I: old factions have been vanquished, new factions have risen. The Berserkers’ attempts to regrow and terraform the lands have started to bear fruit. After the defeat of the Hybrid, the Albs are no longer a threat. However, our hero - Jax - returns with knowledge of a new menace that’s casting a shadow over Magalan. It falls to Jax to unite these different factions together to face this darkness together.

From the announcement trailer alone, you can tell they are planning to really throw players into the action again! Are you excited to get back into the fight for this science-fantasy planet?
