Styx: Master of Shadows, the infiltration game developed by Cyanide studios, has received a huge new 15-minute trailer.
The gameplay video was originally shown off at E3 2014 at the start of the month.
Of Orcs and Men, the last RPG from Cyanide, was rather underwhelming, but Styx the goblin was one of the more interesting things in it. In Master of Shadows the pint-sized anti-hero must travel to the Tower of Akenash, ”where Humans and Elves hide and protect the Tree, the source of the Amber” in order to find out more about his origins. From a recent press release:
“Battle your way to the top of the lofty Tower of Akenash through immense and vertiginous levels that highlight the vertical perspective. You will complete numerous missions with various objectives as you climb up - murder, information recovery, theft of precious artifacts, etc - and gradually reconstruct the puzzle that provides the key to the mystery of your origins. The levels are open and the objectives can be completed in various ways: you are therefore free to choose the best way to proceed and the most suitable strategy to employ to achieve and complete your mission objectives.”
Styx: Master of Shadows is planned for release in Q4 2014.
