To celebrate the reveal, they shared a CGI trailer embedded below. We also found a new set of 4K screenshots from the game on the official website, mostly focused on the environments you'll find in ELEX.
In the press release, THQ Nordic then confirmed a Collector's Edition for the game with the following contents:
- A 10-inch-high figurine of an Alb Mage
- A 2-inch amulet in the form of a combat drone
- A cloth map, showing the world of Magalan
- The original score on CD

We have an appointment to play ELEX and talk with the developers at E3 2017, so expect more details on the sci-fantasy RPG soon. In the meantime, here's the official overview provided by Piranha Bytes.
