Frozenbyte got in touch with us to mention that they’ll releasing Shadwen on PlayStation 4 on May 17! This upcoming stealth-action game gives players control over Shadwen, an assassin on a quest to murder the King, and Lily, an orphan girl. Stealth is key if you want to survive, but when you do have to get your hands dirty, will you risk resorting to violence, hoping that Lily will not flee from your side, or will you quickly try to find a way out of the bad situation you’ve gotten yourself into?
FEATURES
MOVE FREELY – Sneak and explore around the dark and gritty medieval province and use the environment to your advantage – use your rope to grapple onto rooftops, silently drop from ceilings, or veil yourself in the shadows.
STAY HIDDEN – Pick your assassinations carefully. Avoid being seen, heard or getting caught indirectly. Suspicious sights and noises will alert the guards – use it to your benefit!
TIME IS AN ACCOMPLICE – Time stands still when you are not moving Shadwen, allowing you to stop at any point mid-motion. Rewind time to manipulate your past and present actions!
USE PHYSICS – Use physics and a freely attachable rope to drag and topple objects. Make deaths look accidental; let gravity do the grave work.
CREATE TRAPS AND HAZARDS – Set up traps and hazards to lure guards towards their untimely demise; discover new ways to eliminate or distract your foes by crafting items into deadly surprises, including poison traps, spike devices, decoy toys and more.
TWO CHARACTERS – Embrace the darkness with Shadwen and her abilities to protect Lily and create a safe passage for her.
If all goes according to plan we’ll have a review for Shadwen for you close to the game’s launch, so be sure to stick around at PS4blog.net!
