Developer Cyanide Studio and publisher Focus Home Interactive have released Styx: Shards of Darkness’ E3 2016 trailer, revealing more about the quest awaiting the master of shadows.

As Styx, you must steal the ambassador’s scepter, a very coveted object, which other, more nefarious, parties are interested in. Of course, the reward shall be worth the risk, in return the officer promises you great quantity of a resource you are desperately looking for: magical amber, the source of Styx’s power.”

A release is expected on PS4, Xbox One and PC later this year.
