Blades of Greed, Out This Year – WGB

Eight years since his final journey Styx the goblin is sneaking again to star in his fourth recreation.

The brand new recreation, titled Blades of Greed, was introduced at Nacon Join and goes to launch on PS5, Xbox Sequence S/X and PC someday in Fall of this 12 months.

“Developed as soon as once more by Cyanide Studio, Styx: Blades of Greed is a mix of stealth, motion and technique set in a vertically expansive medieval fantasy world,” says the press launch. “Staying true to its profitable formulation, the sport affords open-ended environments, an enormous vary of powers and instruments, and a number of approaches to finishing goals. The mission? Steal Quartz, a uncommon and magical useful resource, whereas eliminating enemies with talent and precision.”

The trailer shortly captures the marginally funds, corny vibe of the final two video games. It additionally exhibits off Styx utilising some loopy powers that appear to stem from the Quartz crystal he’s holding, together with mind-control and time manipulation. The screenshots launched additionally present Styx utilizing a glider to get round.

Whereas the Styx video games have by no means been crucial darlings, they’ve gained a little bit of a following for being stealth-focused video games, a style that doesn’t get lots of love as of late. I had a reasonably good time with them, and I’m desperate to see what Cyanide do with the collection after so lengthy.
