AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Cyanide has released a Steam demo for Styx: Blades of Greed, letting players test the first hour ahead of the full game's February launch on PC and current gen consoles.
Developer Cyanide has launched a playable demo for Styx: Blades of Greed on Steam, giving players a chance to experience the opening hour of the upcoming stealth title ahead of its February release. The preview drop lets players test out the mechanics and explore early areas like The Wall, with the added bonus that all progress and save data will carry over to the full game when it launches. Alongside the demo, the studio released a new trailer hosted by the caustic goblin himself, detailing his obsession with Quartz and showing off traversal tools like the new glider.
Set after the events of Shards of Darkness, Blades of Greed is designed to be accessible for newcomers while continuing the chaotic stealth action that series fans expect. The full game drops on February 19 for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. It is a welcome release window test for a genre where dedicated single player stealth experiences have become increasingly rare in the modern AAA landscape.
For players looking to test out how Cyanide has evolved the formula since the last outing, downloading the Steam demo is the easiest way to get a feel for the pacing and challenge.
