The E3 2016 trailer for Styx: Shards of Darkness promotes Cyanide Studios' upcoming sequel to Styx: Master of Shadows. The accompanying announcement mentions the game's improved graphics, but the clip seems entirely pre-rendered. Here's word:

Styx: Shards of Darkness, the stealth-focused sequel to Cyanide Studios' surprise success story Master of Shadows, comes to consoles and PC in 2016. Styx creeps back in a new adventure packed with bigger production values, a load of new features and a new engine: Unreal Engine 4. Today's spirited E3 Trailer unveils more about the quest awaiting our green-skinned anti-hero in Styx: Shards of Darkness.

While Styx is in business in Thoben, the City of Thieves, he makes a deal with a mysterious human officer, Helledryn. As Styx, you must steal the highly-coveted ambassador's scepter… unfortunately, other, more nefarious parties are interested in such a valuable prize. Of course, the reward is more than worth the risk, as the officer is promising a great deal of magical amber; the resource Styx desperately needs to fuel his power.
