Video games made in Germany are by no means rare, but achieving international success is less common. In 2017, development studio Piranha Bytes scored a hit with the role-playing game "Elex." Five years on, the sequel has arrived.

In "Elex 2” players once again slip into the role of the protagonist Jax. This time, too, he has to save his world from an imminent danger – aliens who want to take over the planet Magellan.
