The sequel to Cyanide Studios’ stealth hit game, Styx: Master of Shadows, is due out early next year for a multi-platform release. The new images showcase the heavily guarded Port of Korrangar, airships in flight, and the impish nature of Styx. So far, the new images and environments are looking very impressive.
In the new game, Styx is set on an adventure to steal an ambassador’s scepter. So, he goes to the City of Thieves Thoben. He agrees to the deal in exchange for some magical amber. However, the job soon takes some unexpected twists and turns, and Styx is put through a dangerous world of shady politics and powerful magic.
Styx will have new abilities in the game, including the ability to instantly teleport into a newly hatched clone. The game will also have a new crafting system to adapt to situations and craft lethal traps and devices from components stolen on an adventure.
Styx: Shards of Darkness arrives in early 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. The pre-order bonus for the game will be exclusive access to the Akenash set, which gives players Styx’s outfit from the first game.
