Styx: Blades of Greed Sets February 19 Launch as 9-Minute Trailer Showcases Expanded Stealth Sandbox

Previews describe vertical sandbox stealth featuring new traversal tools, Quartz powers, plus unverified performance from cloud sessions.

Overview

  • Nacon and Cyanide confirmed a February 19, 2026 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
  • A new nine-minute gameplay trailer highlights large, vertical levels, a glider and grapple for navigation, and Metroidvania-style progression.
  • Hands-on reports say missions support varied approaches, including rooftop routes, distractions, diverse takedowns, and poisoning food to clear areas.
  • Styx now leads a crew aboard a zeppelin to hunt Quartz, a setup that connects to the origins of the Great War and the Black Hand from Of Orcs and Men.
  • Preview builds show improved polish over the Gamescom 2025 demo, though performance impressions remain uncertain due to cloud-streamed testing.
