Have you ever wished that you were an ugly goblin so you could sneak around in the shadows and brutally murder people when nobody else is looking? No, neither have I, but if any of you ever actually had such a fantasy, then the E3 trailer for Styx: Shards of Darkness should be to your liking.

The sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows finds the goblin assassin competing with bloodthirsty pirates to steal a mystical and powerful item which acts as a source of power. It hits consoles and PC later this year.

Synopsis:
Styx: Shards of Darkness reveals the goblin assassin’s quest in a spectacular new trailer. Infiltrate your way to victory when Styx: Shards of Darkness releases in 2016 for consoles and PC.

Styx: Shards of Darkness, the sequel to Cyanide Studios’ stealth surprise success story Master of Shadows, comes to consoles and PC in 2016. Styx creeps back in a new adventure packed with bigger production, a load of new features, and a new engine: Unreal Engine 4. Today’s E3 Trailer unveils more about the quest that awaits our green-skinned goblin in Styx: Shards of Darkness.

While Styx is on business in Thoben, the City of Thieves, he makes an unexpected deal with the mysterious human officer Helledryn. As Styx, you must steal the ambassador’s scepter, a very coveted object, which other, more nefarious parties are interested in. Of course, the reward shall be worth the risk; in return the officer promises you a great quantity of the resource you are desperately looking for: magical amber, the source of Styx power.

Sneak your way to your objective, evading dwarves, elves, and all manner of races, hunting down the scepter. Creatively utilize all of Styx’s tools: assassination, amber powers, talents and skills, equipment, and crafting!

Each race excels at a different thing. The Dark Elves, for instance, are experts at goblin hunting while the Dwarves have a supernatural sense of smell, enabling them to track you down (even when invisible). Learn their strengths and weaknesses if you want to survive long enough to snatch the scepter.

There are further exciting features to be revealed just around the corner!

Styx: Shards of Darkness will be present at E3 2016 in Los Angeles on June 14-16.
