Styx: Blades of Greed Sets February 19 Release as 9-Minute Gameplay Trailer Debuts

Previews point to a vertical, stealth-first sandbox powered by Quartz abilities in the series' first Metroidvania-style outing.

Overview

  • Publisher Nacon and developer Cyanide confirmed a February 19, 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and nacongaming.com.
  • The new gameplay trailer showcases Quartz-fueled powers such as mind control and time shift alongside returning cloning and invisibility.
  • Traversal expands with a glider, grappling hook, and climbing claws, supporting multi-route infiltration across large vertical spaces.
  • The campaign spans three open environments—the Wall, Turquoise Dawn, and Akenash—with progression that unlocks previously unreachable areas.
  • Hands-on previews report improved polish and attentive enemy AI compared with a Gamescom 2025 demo, though broader performance remains unverified due to cloud-streamed testing.
