Elex 2: This is how long you will need to fully explore the world

Elex 2

At this year's E3, the developer studio Piranha Bytes announced the new role-playing game Elex 2. However, some questions still remained open. How long will the playing time be? How many NPCs will the hero meet in the course of the adventure? The development team recently provided the answers to these and many other questions as part of a presentation.

Of course, the length of the game depends on the individual playing style. But according to the statements of Piranha Bytes, it should take almost 60 hours until you have discovered almost everything in the world of Elex 2 - maybe a few hours more or less. You will meet a total of 100 types of opponents, so there shouldn't be a lack of variety in this regard.

There are also more than 300 NPCs that belong to different factions and are part of the actual story. They also have a lot to say, because the developers plan around 350,000 spoken words for all the characters in the role-playing game. There will also be some unique quest series depending on the respective members of your party - world quests and visiting dungeons are also on the adventurer's program.

Piranha Bytes also had a specific release date for Elex 2 do not elicit at this presentation. The team only emphasized that it will be "soon". The role-playing game is to be released for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X / S. You can find more details in our preview of Elex 2.
