Styx: Shards of Darkness – New Trailer Sees Cyanide Explain the Making of a Goblin Feb 21, 2017 11:00 GMT Styx: Shards of Darkness – New Trailer Sees Cyanide Explain the Making of a Goblin Cyanide Studio, developer of Styx: Shards of Darkness, today releases a video revealing how the team envisioned and gave life, personality and soul to the iconic protagonist of their game, the witty goblin Styx. More ambitious than its predecessor in every area, Shards of Darkness takes our nimble thief out of the shadows of Akenash and into a bigger world with more skills, a greater bestiary, and more intricate, vertical level design. Shards of Darkness benefits from a larger production and better realization, with a story aided by cutscenes in which Styx expresses his trademark wit and snark - get a sneak peek at his sarcastic, fourth wall-breaking humour in this video! Watch video on YouTube here You’ll learn why Styx is not the kind of character you're used to playing, and how his wits outweigh his weaknesses. As a goblin, direct confrontation is the best way to kick the bucket, so you’ll have to study your environment to find the best approach and tools to overcome your enemies. Discover how this “ugly little green character” adapts to your playstyle, as “you can be the guy that goes in and out through the level getting every item, or the sneaky one who never raises any alarm.” Take advantage of Styx’s acrobatic prowess and rain down destruction from above, or use your tools and abilities to totally avoid detection – it’s entirely up to you. No matter how you play, he’ll be there for the entire journey, criticizing not only the player, but his creators too! Styx: Shards of Darkness releases on March 14th, 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC! You can preorder the game now on STEAM to get exclusive access to the Akenash set, donning the outfit and dagger from Styx's first adventure. About Styx: Shards of Darkness The Game Following its positive reception from press and players, the centuries-old goblin assassin Styx returns in a new stealth game, Styx: Shards of Darkness, with a bigger budget, bigger ideas, and a new engine: Unreal 4. Master of Shadows was a valiant exploration into the world of the green goblin thief, but Shards of Darkness will delve deeper into a complex narrative and fully realized world. Following the fall of Akenash tower, an extraordinary matter has forced Styx out of hiding to infiltrate Korrangar, the city of the Dark Elves. Supposedly impregnable, a diplomatic summit offers Styx a chance at slipping in unnoticed, as he learns that the event is nothing but a mere façade... Embark upon a stealthy adventure with new enemies, new environments, and a plethora of new mechanics aimed at refining the abilities and movement of Styx ; grappling around corners, climbing ropes, and using his trusty knife as a zip-wire. Shards of Darkness aims to offer unparalleled freedom of movement, along with refined stealth and assassination mechanics, expanding and improving on the strengths of Styx: Master of Shadows. Styx: Shards of Darkness will be available begining of 2017 on PS4, Xbox One and PC. Key Features • A brand new adventure in the universe of a centuries-old goblin assassin, taking you to the city of the Dark Elves • New engine: beautiful graphics created in Unreal Engine 4 • New enemies, new environments, new abilities and improved stealth mechanics for Styx • Unique co-op mode - join a friend’s game to sneak and stab through missions together About Cyanide Studio Cyanide is an independent and privately held video game studio based in Paris and created in 2000.

  • BLOOD BOWL ! La Plus Brutale Des Compétitions Sportives Revient En 2021 Pour Un Troisième Volet Déjanté
    Communiqué de Presse THIS IS… BLOOD BOWL ! La plus brutale des compétitions sportives revient en 2021 pour un troisième volet déjanté Lesquin, le 28 août 2020 – Mettez vos crampons, enfilez votre casque, ajustez vos épaulettes et votre plastron… Et glissez une dague acérée à votre ceinture (c’est réglementaire) : NACON et le studio Cyanide sont heureux d’annoncer Blood Bowl 3, la nouvelle adaptation en jeu vidéo du jeu de plateau culte de Games Workshop. Prévu pour début 2021, le jeu sera disponible sur PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Steam et Nintendo SwitchTM. Blood Bowl 3 est un jeu de stratégie au tour-par-tour inspiré du football américain dans le monde fantasy de Warhammer où elfes, humains, orques et autres créatures se disputent le ballon à coups d’épaule, de poing, de pied, et d’armes plus ou moins létales et légales. Dans la peau du coach, vous devez donner des instructions à vos différents joueurs : entravez la progression de vos adversaires en les positionnant dans votre zone de tacle, mettez à terre ceux qui se dressent sur votre chemin et faites une percée jusqu’à la zone d’en-but adverse pour y écraser le ballon ! Toutes vos unités peuvent monter en expérience et obtenir des bonus de statistiques ou de nouvelles compétences. Prenez garde cependant : les blessures sont monnaie courante, surtout lorsque l’on a en tant qu’arbitre un gobelin peu attentif aux agressions caractérisées. Il est même possible que certains joueurs quittent le terrain les pieds devant, mettant un terme définitif à leur carrière… CONTACTS PRESSE NACON – Hama Doucouré – [email protected] Communiqué de Presse Blood Bowl 3 est une adaptation fidèle du jeu de plateau de Games Workshop, dont une nouvelle édition est prévue pour cette année.

  • Blood Bowl 2: the Necromantic Team Arrive on Playstation 4 and Xbox One
    Oct 19, 2016 11:54 BST Blood Bowl 2: The Necromantic Team Arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One Necromantic DLC today available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Already out on PC and Mac. Blood Bowl 2, the sequel to the video game adaptation of Games Workshop's famous board game that combines American football with the fantasy world of Warhammer, today welcomes a new race on its pitch: The Necromantic, a fearsome new team backed by the bloodthirsty Werewolves, now available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The DLC was already available for PC and Mac. The dead do not rest easy in the graveyards of the Old World. So it was only a matter of time before a Necromancer would decide to shackle these unstoppable killing machines with arcane and powerful magic, and soothe their tortured souls with a nice game of Blood Bowl! The Necromantic teams are a very versatile team, but their best players are their Werewolves. These lethal killing machines are its main attacking force, providing pure psychopathic fury and claws that can render armour utterly useless. The Werewolves and the powerful Flesh Golems are expensive, however, so Necromantic coaches need to play cautiously. We remind you that PC/Mac Steam players of Blood Bowl 2 can still benefit from THE FOUNDERS INCENTIVE. If you purchase the game before the release of the Nurgle team, you will receive this team for free as soon as it's available. About Blood Bowl 2 The Game Blood Bowl 2 smashes together Warhammer and American football in an explosive cocktail of turn-based strategy, humour and brutality, adapted from Games Workshop's famous boardgame.
