About the game

Styx returns in a new stealth adventure!

Explore and master huge open environments, sneak past or assassinate new enemies and bosses, and experiment with the new array of lethal abilities and weapons in our goblin assassin’s arsenal.

Sneak your way alone, or with a friend in coop mode! Climb the dizzying Elven city, traverse the perilous territory of the Dwarfs, and survive vast unexplored lands filled with lethal dangers to fulfill your mission… failure to succeed could have huge consequences for your kin.

Climb, swing, and hang through multi-layered sandbox environments brought to life with Unreal Engine 4. Creep and hide in the darkest corners, or reach heights to avoid detection. Spend experience points in assassination, infiltration, magic, etc. to learn new skills and abilities. Explore the world to recover valuable artifacts, find ingredients to craft deadly traps and useful items, and create clones of yourself to distract and deceive the many types of enemies on your way – the choice is yours!

The Akenash Set

The Akenash Set DLC gives you access to the iconic Akenash Outfit and the Akenash Dagger:

• The Akenash Outfit – Here’s the one-and-only, classic outfit from Styx’s first adventure! Whenever Styx summons a clone, its duration before disappearing is increased.
• The Dagger of Akenash – Styx’s first dagger. Old yet sturdy, this rusty blade was dragged through miles of infested marshes. This caused it to be covered in all manner of deadly acid. Anyone killed with the Dagger of Akenash will dissolve instantly.
