A new trailer for Styx: Shards of Darkness is out this week, featuring a combination of game footage, cinematics and behind-the-scenes interviews. And our latest look at the upcoming stealth title should interest anyone hoping for more information on Styx: Shards of Darkness’ diminutive protagonist and/or curious about the character creation process at Cyanide Studio.

There’s a little something for everyone in this week’s Styx trailer. The five-minute video has a bit of new gameplay footage, though it’s certainly not abundant, alongside clips used in other Shards of Darkness trailers. But the real draw of Cyanide’s “Making of a Goblin” trailer is the developer commentary heard throughout the video; narration that offers some new insight into the game’s development. Members of Cyanide discuss a variety of subjects, including the struggles that come with building a new stealth franchise and the process of creating the series’ protagonist. Some of the information, like a rundown of Styx’s abilities, will be old news, but Cyanide also confirms the goblin will have new options at his disposal in Shards of Darkness.

For a closer look at Styx: Shards of Darkness, take five minutes to watch the latest trailer from Focus Home and Cyanide. Then head down to the comments and let us know whether or not you’re planning to buy Styx: Shards of Darkness when the game debuts next month.

Styx: Shards of Darkness is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The game debuts March 14, 2017.
