If you have been waiting for a new stealth game to play, there is some good news. Styx: Blades of Greed is one of the most exciting games coming out this year, and now you can try it early. A playable demo has just been released, giving fans a chance to see what the game is like before the full launch.
This demo lets you play through the first hour of Styx: Blades of Greed. It will likely start you off at a location called The Wall. This is an area that the developers at Cyanide showed off during a preview session last year. It gives you a good look at the game’s setting and mechanics.
Currently, you can only play this demo on Steam. However, the full game will be available on many different platforms when it comes out. You will be able to play it on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. The official release date is set for February 19th, which is just a little over a month away.
The developers at Cyanide have confirmed that any progress you make in the demo will carry over to the full game. This means you do not have to start over when the game launches. If you are interested in trying it out, you can find the demo on the Steam store page right now.
Along with the demo, the studio also released a brand new trailer for the game. In this video, Styx himself takes over the storytelling. The goblin talks about his love for Quartz, which is a very powerful and valuable substance in the game. The trailer also shows off some of his new tools, including a glider that helps him move around.
The story in Blades of Greed happens after the events of the previous game, Styx: Shards of Darkness. However, you do not need to have played the older games to understand what is happening. The developers say that new players can jump right in and enjoy the story without any confusion.
I had the chance to play a preview of Styx: Blades of Greed last year. Even though I was not very good at the game, I had a great time playing as the goblin. Causing chaos and sneaking past enemies was a lot of fun, and it looks like the full game will be just as enjoyable.
