Still, I have a certain respect for the series.

So a quiet hip-hooray, then, for Blades Of Greed, which is out later in 2025.

Here’s a trailer.

What’s the Green Plague up to in this one, then?

New areas become available within those sandboxes via “Metroidvania-style” tool-gating.

You’ll also get to craft weapons and potions before undertaking each heist.

The setting has always been Styx’s big draw for me.

All that cobbled-together, piled-up masonry, buttressed by some respectable grimdark lore.

I share Alec Meer’s (RPS in peace) distaste for the character’s internal monologue, however.

Hopefully they’ve eased off on it in Blades Of Greed.Find out more on Steam.
