Schemes within schemes.
Lies within lies.

Think you know my story?
Let’s see how good your memory really is.

Before the blood, the betrayals, and my next big mistake, here’s a reminder of how I crawled out of the Tower of Akenash… and kept making excellent life choices.

This story trailer revisits the key events of Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness, leading to my newest obsession: Quartz… and the chaos of Styx: Blades of Greed.

Same goblin. New mess.

Move like a pro

[p]
So. You want to move around without being seen?
Good. Because walking like a clueless guard isn’t really my style.
[/p][p]In Styx: Blades of Greed, I don’t just sneak.
I climb, glide, swing, and cheat my way through places I’m clearly not supposed to be. Rules? Cute idea.
[/p][p]Let me show you how I get around.

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]But first, yes, this is the part where I tell you to wishlist or pre-order the game.
Do it. It makes the numbers happy. And I like happy numbers.[/p][p]You can wishlist my game (because it obviously worth it), or even pre-order it.

Base Edition for the reasonable.
Quartz (Deluxe) Edition for people with taste (like me)
[/p][p]Alright.[/p][p]Movement.
[/p]
Grappling Hook
[p]Big gap? High ledge? Sudden urge to disappear because someone finally looked up?
One pull, and poof, like the man dressed as a bat, I’m gone. Up, across. Or somewhere guards can’t quite look up to.

Sometimes, I’m in the mood for something spicier. Instead of pulling enemies to me, I pull myself to them.
[/p][p]A lonely guard standing there? A perfect opportunity. One yank. A very short scream.[/p][p]Then… calm. Deeply satisfying.
[/p][p]Useful for infiltration.[/p][p]Even better for escapes.[/p][p]Especially when things go loud and everyone suddenly remembers they’re bad at their job.
[/p][p][/p][p] [/p]
Glider
[p]I see you coming, and no, this isn’t one of those games where a flying bus drops hundreds of people for a cheerful group murder session. This is classy here.[/p][p][/p][p]So why take the long way when gravity can do the work for me?
The glider lets me float over open areas, bypass patrols, and land exactly where I want.
…Okay. Almost exactly.
[/p][p]But here’s the fun part: I don’t just go down.
Thanks to rising air currents, I can gain altitude, stay airborne longer, and reach places guards assume are “impossible to access”. (Spoiler: they’re not)[/p][p]Quietly.[/p][p]Gracefully.[/p][p]Mockingly.

I ride the wind (yep, I’m THAT good)... and then I drop straight into an enemy who never saw me coming. One silent aerial kill later, and I’m already gone, floating away while someone else wonders what just happened.
[/p][p]The best.


[/p]
CLAWS
[p]Walls.
You guards love walls.

They make you feel safe. Protected. Employed.

I climb them.

With my claws… No, not those claws, relax. My manicure is flawless. I mean the tool. The sharp one. The one that turns your “secure area” into a joke.

Quartz Walls become shortcuts, ambush spots, and unpleasant realizations for anyone standing underneath me.
[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
Spectral Dash
[p]I’m a ghost!
…I mean,  not a ghost. But like a ghost![/p][p]No, I don’t wear a sheet on my head. Seriously…?
Focus! For f*ck’s sake![/p][p]\[...][/p][p]THANK YOU.
[/p][p]So. Metal grilles. Locked paths. “No entry” signs.
Adorable.

Spectral Dash lets me slip through certain obstacles like they were never there.
Different paths. Secret routes. Escape prison.
And one more reason your defenses were a waste of time.[/p][p]

See, movement isn’t about speed.
It’s about control.
Control of the environment.[/p][p]Control of my enemies.[/p][p]Control of the poor guard reading this right now thinking: “Yeah… we’re screwed.”[/p][p][/p][p]And when I control the environment… you never even know I was there.
Styx: Blades of Greed launches in less than a month, on PC and consoles on Feb 19. Crazy right?

And if you already know you’re going to need me? Pre-orders are open now.[/p][p]Go on. Be prepared.
We’ll be working together very soon.[/p][p]I hope you’re ready. Because I am.

Time to teach you my tricks (Styx's lessons)

[p]
Alright, I’ve seen a lot of you “having fun” in the demo. “Having fun” is a generous term, considering how some of you swing my dagger like it’s a butter knife.
[/p][p]So yeah, clearly, I need to teach you how things work around here. Did you know I’ve been sharing lessons on my social channels (follow me)? No? Thought so. Disappointing.[/p][p]Good thing I’m here to fix that mess, huh?[/p][p]Anyway… take a look below.
[/p]
Styx's lessons
[p]
The world is your weapon. Shadows, heights, noise, light, everything wants to help you if you’re not an idiot. Stay out of sight, out of earshot, and out of nose range. Use every dirty trick, every tool, every unfair advantage you can get your claws on. If they notice you, you already failed.
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h2]Don't forget to pre-order my game (because it's the best)
[/h2][p]https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/styx-blades-of-greed[/p][p]Look at this look from Styx: Master of Shadows. Retro, but still good.[/p][p][/p][p]And if you’re anything like me, you love shiny things. Gold things.
So go pre-order the Quartz Edition (Deluxe Edition). You’re worthy… No, no! Not that kind of magical hammer. Don’t get ideas.
[/p][p]https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/styx-blades-of-greed[/p][p]
See you in the shadows!

To celebrate the imminent launch of a new Styx adventure, Epic is giving away Cyanide's last two goblin-flavoured stealth games for free




Remember Styx? Cyanide Studios' horrible goblin was the hottest stealth game protagonist of the early 2010s. By this I mean he was the only stealth game protagonist of the early 2010s, as bona-fide sneaking games were vanishingly rare...

Demo and pre-order start

[p][/p][p]Hey folks,
[/p][p]Cyanide here, we’re thrilled to finally let you sneak your way into Styx: Blades of Greed with a brand-new playable demo on Steam! This is a limited-time demo (yep, it won’t be around forever), so if you’re itching to sharpen your knives and your wits, now is the perfect moment to jump in.[/p][p][/p][p]Oh, and one more thing before we get into the details:[/p][h3]The demo is available… right now![/h3][p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][h2]
What's in the demo?
[/h2][p]This demo gives you access to the very beginning of the game![/p][p]From there, Styx goes back to doing what he does best: slipping through shadows, breaking into places he shouldn’t, and stealing things that definitely don’t belong to him.[/p][p][/p][p]You’ll get to experience:[/p]
  • [p]The infiltration inside a massive golem attacking Styx to destroy it from the inside, a perfect introduction and tutorial to some Styx’s new tricks[/p]
  • [p]Styx’s first real mission, a high-risk zeppelin theft under the ever-watchful eye of the Inquisition in the first open environment of the game, The Wall[/p]
[p][/p][p]It’s a focused taste of the tone, systems, and level of freedom we’re building into the full experience, just enough to get you into trouble, and hopefully out of it.[/p][h2]
Keep your progress in the full game
[/h2][p]Good news! Your save from the demo will be fully compatible with the base game on February 19th!
[/p][p]So if you fall in love with the smell of fresh loot and lurking in the shadows, you’ll be able to pick up your adventure right where you left off when the game launches, no need to start over.
[/p][h2]What will be in the full game beyond the demo?
[/h2][p]The demo is just the opening chapter of Styx’s new adventure, roughly an hour of gameplay but if you want to poke around, and test every shadow you’ll spend way more time in the demo. Naturally, this slice doesn’t contain everything the full experience has to offer.
[/p][p]Since it’s the very beginning of the game, some tools and systems are still out of reach here. You won’t, for example, get your hands on the glider or the grappling hook yet… and that’s on purpose. We’d rather let you discover the full extent of Styx’s tricks, powers, and playgrounds in the final game instead of spoiling them in the demo.
[/p][p]Consider this demo a taste of what’s to come, just enough to whet your appetite, and get you hungry for the full menu.
[/p][p]The full game will include:[/p]
  • [p]Three large, open environments to explore and infiltrate in your own way. You'll discover brand new areas of The Wall as you unlock your new tools. You'll be sneaking through the vile orc nest of Turquoise Dawn and the rotting Ruins of Akenash, a twisted version of Styx: Master of Shadows world.[/p]
  • [p]Movement tools to unlock new routes and unreachable areas, such as the grappling hook and glider[/p]
  • [p]Unlock more upgrades for your tools and powers[/p]
  • [p]New Quartz powers, including mind control and time shifting[/p]
  • [p]New enemy factions with their own gameplay specificities, including Inquisitors, Orcs, or Elves[/p]
  • [p]And above all: fresh infiltration challenges, a full liberty to design your own approaches, and situations to outsmart with Styx’s trademark creativity (and bad attitude)[/p]
[h2]Pre-order now![/h2][p][/p][p]You can pre-order the game right now and secure exclusive content to be ready for the next Styx's adventure![/p][p][/p][p]https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/styx-blades-of-greed[/p][p][/p][p]Pre-order the standard edition and unlock the Master of Shadow skin, inspired by Styx: Master of Shadows.
[/p][p][/p][p]You can also pre-order the Quartz Edition (Deluxe Edition). It gives you even more to start your adventure in style:[/p]
  • [p]Additional outfits including several skins based on Styx greed for Quartz, Amber and Gold and iconic outfits from Styx: Shards of Darkness[/p]
  • [p]Exclusive dagger skins[/p]
  • [p]Additional taunts to lure enemies[/p]
  • [p]A starter pack with 2 skill points and crafting materials[/p]
  • [p]48 hours early unlock to the game when pre-ordered[/p]
[p]https://www.nacongaming.com/en-US/styx-blades-of-greed[/p][p]Sharpen your blades, plan your infiltration, and get ready to steal everything in your path.[/p][p][/p][h2]A word from the team[/h2][p][/p][p]We’re extremely proud to finally share with you a first glimpse of the final game, coming in a little over a month. This demo is a real milestone for the whole team: the result of years of work on the project, and the long-awaited return of a flagship franchise after almost nine years.[/p][p][/p][p]To everyone who decides to give the demo a try: thank you. Your time, your feedback, and simply your curiosity mean a lot to the team. Seeing players back in Styx’s world after all this time is incredibly rewarding.[/p][p]
That said… our work isn’t completely over yet. The final game is coming very soon, and we’re giving it its last finishing touches. In the meantime, it’s still the perfect moment to pre-order the game!

[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink]We’ve had a lot of fun crafting this slice of the game, and we’re excited to finally put it in your sneaky hands. Now go make a mess of carefully guarded places. Quietly… or not. You are choosing your path!
