With the release of the new Styx slowly approaching, it’s no surprise that Cyanide Studio and Nacon are teasing the audience with gameplay.

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 are discovering Styx for the first time or you are a longtime fan, greed and its thrill have reached a whole new level.

No more working for others. This time, our famous green-skinned goblin follows his own agenda and leads his own crew. Aboard his zeppelin, Styx and his companions hunt for a new, mysterious power source: Quartz. Along the way, you will encounter familiar faces and colorful new characters while outsmarting the traps of the Inquisition. This adventure marks the beginning of the Great War and the formation of the Black Hand, the mercenary group at the center of the events of Of Orcs and Men.

Every great heist requires preparation. Craft weapons and potions before executing your next plan. A wide range of abilities is available to you. Thanks to your Amber skills, cloning and invisibility return. Master the 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 relies on his agility, sharp mind, and sarcastic humor to escape even the trickiest situations.

Roam freely through three vast, open environments: The Wall, marking the border of the human world; the lush orc village of Turquoise Dawn; and the ruins of the elven capital, Akenash. Glide through the skies, reach inaccessible places with your grappling hook, and climb massive walls with your claws. Use the verticality of the environments to your advantage. Each new tool unlocks previously unreachable areas through Metroidvania-style progression.

Styx: Blades of Greed will be released on February 19 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
