The game from Cyanide Studio and Nacon will not be released on time, and it wouldn’t be surprising if there were a few more delays this year before its release in 2026. This has become common practice.

Play as Styx, a cunning goblin with a wicked sense of humor who has mastered the art of stealth. Your goal is to obtain Quartz, the most precious — and dangerous — resource in a world on the brink of war between elves, humans, and orcs. Styx: Blades of Greed refines the proven formula of the first two games by placing freedom and creativity at the heart of the experience. Explore vast, vertical environments and master new tools and powers. Whether you’re discovering Styx for the first time or you’re a longtime fan, there’s never been a more exciting time to be greedy!

No more working for others! This time, our famous green-skinned friend has set out on his own and is leading his own crew. Aboard his zeppelin, Styx and his crew hunt for a new, mysterious power source: Quartz. Throughout your mischievous journey, you’ll encounter familiar faces and colorful new characters as you outwit the Inquisition’s traps. This adventure marks the beginning of the Great War and the formation of the Black Hand, a mercenary group central to the events in Of Orcs and Men.

Every great heist requires preparation. Craft weapons and potions before carrying out your next plan. You have a wide range of abilities at your disposal: Thanks to your Amber skills, cloning and invisibility are back. Master mind-control and time-shifting abilities granted by Quartz. Every situation is a stealth puzzle that can be solved in multiple ways. Despite his small size, Styx uses his agility, sharp wit, and sarcastic sense of humor to escape tricky situations.

Roam freely through three vast, open environments: The Wall, which marks the border of the human world; the lush Orc village of Turquoise Dawn; and the Ruins of the Elven Capital, Akenash. Soar through the skies with your glider, reach inaccessible places with your grappling hook, and scale massive walls with your claws. Use the vertical environments to your advantage to reach your goals. Each new tool unlocks previously unreachable areas with Metroidvania-style progression.

Now, let’s discuss the delay. Styx: Blades of Greed was originally scheduled for release in fall 2025. The delay was announced on December 1, so they were a bit late! At least they’ve set a new release date: February 19, 2026, for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
