This Summer Trailer invites us to follow Styx, the two-century old Goblin whose main occupation is thievery and assassination, as he begins infiltrating the huge Tower of Akenash. It is in this immense tower that is jealously kept hidden by elves, humans and other fantasy creature, the World-Tree and its Heart, source of the precious Amber. This is the final objective of Styx, who today demonstrates a few of his skills and special powers, that will be of great help to make a silent way to his goal.
Akenash dwellers #2 – Fighters
To continue with our Akenash dwellers,
Let’s go to the Fighters!
The spectrum of fighters go from basic workers, fighting with primitive tools, to the elite guards with their deadly weapons. As well as dockers, vile experimenters and sly smugglers, to mention some more.
Be wary of fighters. You stand a small chance against one and even less against more.
Try it and you’ll see…
Stay tuned for more info on Akenash dwellers!

Styx: Master of Shadows was revealed in great detail at E3 in Los Angeles.
But for those who were unable to see us in Los Angeles, here’s the gameplay trailer for Styx: Master of Shadows that shows a continuous 15-minute game sequence, unedited, and with commentary by the developers.
This is an exciting opportunity to discover the gameplay options available in Styx: Master of Shadows. Infiltration, the special talents and skills of the goblin character you play and all the game mechanics will allow you to scale the dizzying heights of the vast Tower of Akenash that contains your ultimate objective: the heart of the World Tree, the source of the amber, immense power and fabulous riches; because let’s not forget that Styx is essentially a master thief!
The goblin scales the heights in screenshots!
We’re happy to unveil a series of exclusive images in the run-up to E3 in Los Angeles, where Styx: Master of Shadows will be presented at Focus Home Interactive’s booth (West Hall Booth 5512)!
Styx, the goblin assassin, is climbing his way up the Tower of Akenash.
From the murky, oppressive depths of the tower to the opulent and magnificent summits where the elite guards and the citizens of the tower reside, Styx will have to work hard to reach his objective: The Tree, the source of the Amber, the promise of infinite riches he would like to possess. Master assassin and part-time thief, Styx will be able to remove any objects hampering his progress: but don’t leave any clues behind that could betray your presence to the guards… like a lifeless body in a walkway!
But not only humans and elves inhabit the Tower of Akenash; other fantastic creatures also roam the gloomy halls and passages of this immense tower, and it’s generally wise to avoid them. if you don’t want to end up as dinner for a hungry Orc!
Stay tuned on the devblog, more details about the game are coming!
Question of the week #3
Today we will answer a question from “Орхан Османов”: Will we able to customize our Hud? Turn off quest marker maybe?
Hi Orkhan,
Yes, you will have some Hud’s customization in “Styx: Master of Shadows”. Additionally to be able to hide subtitles, it will be also possible to hide quest markers and AI detection’s icons.
In “normal” game mode, it is up to you to deactivate or not those options, but we have a spacial hardcore mode, you can unlock after finishing the game, where those options are always deactivated. There is some other challenges in this special mode we will tell you later.
If you have any question you would like to ask to the team about the game, please post it below this thread or on our Facebook page! We’ll be happy to answer you in the next Question of the week.
