In a significant move for the Styx franchise, Nacon is offering two games, Styx: Master of Shadows and Styx: Shards of Darkness, for free on the Epic Games Store. These stealth adventures focus on the cunning goblin Styx and combine elements of shadow-based stealth and combat.
Free Titles and New Demo
Nacon celebrates the Styx series by making Styx: Master of Shadows and the Deluxe Edition of Styx: Shards of Darkness available at no cost. Alongside these, a new chapter, Styx: Blades of Greed, is in development, promising enhanced abilities via magical quartz.
To engage fans ahead of its full release on 2026-02-19, an early demo of Styx: Blades of Greed is available on Steam. This demo covers the initial gameplay stage, with progress transferable to the complete game.
