Eight
years
since
his
last
adventure
Styx
the
goblin
is
sneaking
back
to
star
in
his
fourth
game.

The
new
game,
titled
Blades
of
Greed,
was
announced
at
Nacon
Connect
and
is
going
to
release
on
PS5,
Xbox
Series
S/X
and
PC
sometime
in
Fall
of
this
year.

“Developed
once
again
by
Cyanide
Studio, Styx:
Blades
of
Greed is
a
blend
of
stealth,
action
and
strategy
set
in
a
vertically
expansive
medieval
fantasy
world,”
says
the
press
release.
“Staying
true
to
its
winning
formula,
the
game
offers
open-ended
environments,
a
vast
range
of
powers
and
tools,
and
multiple
approaches
to
completing
objectives.
The
mission?
Steal
Quartz,
a
rare
and
magical
resource,
while
eliminating
enemies
with
skill
and
precision.”

The
trailer
quickly
captures
the
slightly
budget,
corny
vibe
of
the
last
two
games.
It
also
shows
off
Styx
utilising
some
crazy
powers
that
seem
to
stem
from
the
Quartz
crystal
he’s
holding,
including
mind-control
and
time
manipulation.
The
screenshots
released
also
show
Styx
using
a
glider
to
get
around.

While
the
Styx
games
have
never
been
critical
darlings,
they’ve
gained
a
bit
of
a
following
for
being
stealth-focused
games,
a
genre
that
doesn’t
get
a
lot
of
love
these
days.
I
had
a
pretty
good
time
with
them,
and
I’m
eager
to
see
what
Cyanide
do
with
the
series
after
so
long.
