It’s only been a few months since we first found out that Jax was going to be returning to Magalan, but since then Piranha Bytes and THQ Nordic have already revealed more details surrounding ELEX II. We even got a release date of March 1, 2022, a collector’s edition that is available for pre-order, and learned that it will be released on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

Now, they have revealed the five factions that are holding the power in Magalan upon Jax’s return. These factions are:

• The Berserkers - skilled magicians, who use the power of Elex to perform all different kinds of spells.

• Outlaws - living a life of crime, they are scattered throughout Magalan where some have even joined The Berserkers and some have moved to the crater landscape of Ateris.

• The Albs - after learning from their defeat in ELEX, they have returned as a playable faction. Jax can once again choose to become an Alb Commander.

• The Clerics - a group famous for their love of engineering and crafting powerful combat robots powered by Elex.

• The Morkons - survivors that fled to an underground tunnel system and lived a life of darkness and deprivation, but are now leaving isolation to spread their religion. They aim to wipe out anyone that stands against them.

These are the playable factions in ELEX II, each offering their own unique weapons and skills. Each player can decide which faction they will join, be it for better or worse. Just try to choose wisely as this will have an impact on your overall experience through the story.
