[Upcoming] Styx: Shards of Darkness - Free on Epic Games
2026년 1월 15일
Styx returns in a new stealth adventure! Explore and master huge open environments, sneak past or assassinate new enemies and bosses, and experiment with the new array of lethal abilities and weapons in our goblin assassin's arsenal.
소개
Return as Styx, the cynical goblin master thief, in a pure stealth adventure built on verticality and ruthless cunning. Infiltrate the immense, labyrinthine city of Korrangar, utilizing magical amber powers and lethal gadgets to outwit enemies who are far stronger than you. This is a game where shadows are your only armor and silence is your deadliest weapon.
스토리
Following the fall of Akenash, Styx infiltrates the Dark Elven city of Korrangar during a diplomatic summit. Hired by a mysterious human officer named Helledryn, Styx seeks to steal a magical quartz scepter. However, he soon uncovers a sinister conspiracy involving the Elves, Dwarves, and the corrupting power of Amber that threatens his entire species.
Gameplay
Shards of Darkness offers an uncompromising stealth experience where direct combat is a death sentence. Players must master a fluid movement system that emphasizes verticality—swinging from ropes, scaling walls, and hiding in rafters. Success relies on manipulating light sources, crafting lethal traps, and managing sound levels to remain an unseen phantom.

Timeline
Arsenal of Shadows
- •Amber Vision: See enemy heartbeats and hidden items.
- •Cloning: Vomit a controllable clone to scout or distract.
- •Invisibility: Bend light to vanish for short durations.
- •Cocoon: Throw a clone to distant locations to teleport.
- •Acid Traps: Dissolve bodies instantly to leave no trace.
Co-Op Dynamics
Unlike many games where co-op makes things easier, Styx requires tight coordination. If one player is spotted and killed, the mission fails (or resets) for both. Synchronized takedowns and using one goblin as bait while the other circles behind are essential tactics.
