The classic (and difficult) RPG is coming to several modern platforms.

THQ Nordic says that the classic RPG Risen is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on January 24, 2023. This action-RPG dates back to 2009 when it was first released on PC and the Xbox 360 and is a damn fine RPG that doesn't shy away from being brutally difficult at times. The Risen titles are essentially the spiritual successor to the equally difficult Gothic franchise.

Weirdly, THQ...

Those Gothic devs are at it again.

Elex II was announced today as a direct sequel to Elex, the open-world RPG from the development studio behind the Gothic and Risen franchises. Piranha Bites invites fans to adventure through the post-apocalyptic sci-fi world of Magalan. This locations features "massive environments that can be explored with unrivalled freedom via jetpack."

Players will take on the role of Jax at a time where a new threat arrives on the scene...
