French developer Cyanide Studios has released another gameplay video showcasing some of the stealth-based action in the upcoming Styx: Master of Shadows.

Set in the same world as the studio's previous creation, Of Orcs and Men, the game follows Styx, the first of the Goblins, trying to surreptitiously get his hands on a powerful artifact held at the top of a great tower, hoping to gain a better understanding of his origins.

The video focuses on Styx's clone, highlighting the numerous abilities at your disposal, enabling you to distract guards and even take them down from the shadows.

The clone offers a wealth of tactical options when it comes to navigating the vertical architecture of the Tower of Akenash, enabling you to approach situations in a multitude of ways, whether your goal is to kill everyone or just get by unnoticed.

There are many things your clone is able to do. For instance, the video shows that you can have it enter a cupboard, and then, when you lure a guard next to it, the clone will simply snatch the unsuspecting individual, probably giving him a nice and friendly tour of Narnia.

Styx: Master of Shadows is slated for release in October this year, headed to the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One platforms.
