It may still be the beginning of 2026, but there are still plenty of new PlayStation 5 games to keep players busy until the heavy hitters release later this year. From High on Life 2 to Yakuza Kiwami 3, there are tons of new experiences to explore that are available on the PlayStation Store. That includes Styx: Blades of Greed, the newest entry in the stealth action-adventure series.
What is Styx: Blades of Greed?
Developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon, Styx: Blades of Greed is the third entry in the action-adventure series, which began with 2014’s Styx: Master of Shadows. All three entries serve as prequels to Cyanide Studio’s fantasy action RPG, Of Orcs and Men, which was released for the PS3 in 2012.
Here is a description of Styx: Blades of Greed, giving players an idea of what to expect from the newly released PS5 entry:
“No more working for others! This time, our famous green-skinned friend is pursuing his own goal and leading his own crew. Aboard his zeppelin, Styx and his crew hunt down a new, mysterious power source: Quartz. Throughout your mischievous journey, you’ll encounter familiar faces and colorful new characters while outwitting the Inquisition’s traps. This adventure marks the beginning of the Great War and the creation of the Black Hand, the mercenary group central to the events of Of Orcs and Men.”
