Cyanide Studios have today revealed a few new images for Styx: Shards of Darkness and they give a great insight into the many dangers our little green friend will have to face!
Arriving on Xbox One, PS4 and PC later this year, Styx: Shards of Darkness is the sequel to the stealth cult-classic Master of Shadows. With Unreal Engine 4 behindit, a ton of new features and a whole bigger production budget, we hope to be seeing something special with Styx’s latest title.
Whilst a confirmed release date is still far from being announced, we can at least get ourselves all excited by checking out some new images
One of the hostile factions you will meet in the huge underground city of Korrangar is composed of the Dark Elves. Dark Elves were previously Elves who had to live without any amber for multiple generations. Slowly, they have been turning into fanatic and bloodthirsty creatures. They became masters in Quartz fabrication, a new, much more dangerous, source of power. They are also experts at goblin hunting and the Exterminator Dark Elf is proof of that. He has honed his skills to perfection, and is able to flush out pesky creatures hiding in dark corners and hard-to-reach places with toxic bombs.
If there’s an even more dangerous place than Korrangar, it would be Wildoran, the city of goblin hunters. Wildoran inhabitants are stout people wearing heavy armour – the powerful Dwarves. Styx is unable to breach their impenetrable defence, so you must innovate and adapt to disable or avoid them. Every dwarf also has a supernatural sense of smell, and is able to slowly track Styx as he moves from cover to cover.
We’ll bring you more when we can but if you have never played the first Styx title, then you really should be reading our review and then getting involved in the Master of Shadows.
