Focus Interactive and Cyanide Studios have released a new video from the upcoming title Styx: Master of Shadows that shows off just how versatile Styx is. Using your climbing abilities, you can move around the world and take out foes in a variety of ways, you should just watch the video.



Skill is richly rewarded in Styx: Master of Shadows, with the most skilled of players able to swing organically from level to level, path to path, unseen by foes guarding the way. Armed only with his trusted dagger and very few throwing knives for dealing with “long-range” encounters, Styx relies more on his small scale and nimble athleticism to subvert those who seek to kill him. Remain aware, and use the environment to your advantage, and you'll soon be able to dispatch the humans and elves, whilst remaining unseen.

Push people of ledges, pull them by their legs to the gallows, or leap from huge heights to slit their throats or stab them from their shoulders. Smother them silently, swing around from behind, or thrust throwing daggers into their skulls. Drop crates onto the toughest of enemies, or poison their drinking water. As violent as he is cunning, Styx' best friend is his knife, and the shadows.

Be sure to look for Styx: Master of Shadows when it releases in October for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One
