Fans of the Styx series are in for a bit of a wait. The much-anticipated return of the goblin protagonist has been postponed. Initially slated to launch in 2025, the developer Cyanide Studio and publisher Nacon have decided to push the release date to ensure a polished experience. Although it won’t be arriving this year, fans can mark their calendars for February 19, 2026, when Styx: Blades of Greed is expected to make its debut.
Delay Announcement and Trailer Release
A new release date trailer has been shared on the game’s Steam page, accompanying the announcement of the delay. In a playful nod to fans, Styx himself comments, “What? I’m not late, I just like making you wait.” This light-hearted approach is echoed in the post by Cyanide Studio, writing as Styx: “Yeah, yeah, I know, waiting isn’t your favorite thing. Mine either. (Unless I’m waiting in the dark to stab someone, of course).” The developers emphasize needing a few more months to ensure that everything is polished and up to the series’ standards, hinting at a sharper and more refined adventure.
Preview at Gamescom 2025
Reports suggest that during Gamescom 2025, a preview of Styx: Blades of Greed was showcased. The game, while complex, is expected to elevate the series, offering a variety of abilities and tools. The demo left a positive impression, showcasing how the third installment in the series aims to reach new heights and appeal to fans of its predecessors.
As excitement builds, both long-time fans and newcomers will anticipate its release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S this coming February. Styx: Blades of Greed is set to arrive on February 19, 2026.
