Cyanide Studio(SeaPRwire) - 今年二月，一个备受赞誉的潜行游戏系列将迎来其新作，但在此之前，你有一个免费了解它的机会。从1月15日到22日，你可以在Epic游戏商店免费领取《Styx: Master of Shadows》和《Styx: Shards of Darkness》，而该三部曲的第三部作品《Styx: Blades of Greed》将于2月19日发售。如今的潜行游戏通常都会为你提供一条退路。如果你在潜行时被发现，通常都有一个简单的逃生方法，无论是让你快速闪回阴影的能力，还是潜行主角往往拥有与潜行技巧一样精湛的战斗能力这一设定。但Styx系列游戏走了一条更硬核的路线，它要求你必须严格遵守潜行规则，因为一旦它名义上的哥布林反英雄被发现，就极其容易被干掉。在这方面，在一个由高挑精灵和人类组成的世界里，身为一个小哥布林也有其优势。Styx从一开始就异常敏捷，能够迅速爬上壁架并在掩体间穿梭，足以在试图躲避的守卫眼皮底下溜过。尤其是在第一部游戏《Master of Shadows》中，扒墙动作可能有点小毛病，但通常还不至于破坏你的游戏体验。关卡设计旨在让你充分利用机动性，提供多条路径让你绕过巡逻的守卫抵达目标。Styx系列游戏没有走通过让你获得攻击能力来提供更多选择的路线，而是充满了更多类似于《》中让你操纵环境的工具。从远处熄灭火炬、用声音引诱守卫是潜行类型的常用工具，它们在这里效果极佳。Styx系列游戏真正出彩的地方在于其魔法能力工具箱。秉承该系列的潜行本质，你通常不能直接用魔法攻击解决敌人，而是利用它们让自己更难被追上。一个短暂的隐形法术可以让你摆脱大多数困境，但更令人愉快的选项包括生成一个自己的克隆体来分散守卫的注意力并帮助解决谜题。该系列的第二部游戏《Shards of Darkness》增加了一些用毒药和机械陷阱除掉敌人的选项，但这些更直接的方法总是感觉是对你潜行能力的补充，而非替代。当真正需要进行直接战斗时，Styx大多局限于使用格挡来使守卫失去平衡后再处决他们，这感觉笨拙且不可靠，足以让你打消将其用作最后手段以外任何方式的念头。Styx系列游戏是具有老派风格的潜行游戏，迫使你坚守阴影。 | Cyanide Studio分别于2014年和2017年问世的《Master of Shadows》和《Shards of Darkness》在某些方面确实显露出了年代感。除了有时笨拙的操作外，它们还有重复利用关卡的倾向，而且敌人发现你的视野范围有时也具有欺骗性。然而，它们最大的缺点在于Styx本身。正如哥布林通常被描绘的那样，Styx是一个脾气暴躁、令人不快的角色，他毫不顾忌地抢夺黄金并刺杀挡路的守卫。在大多数情况下，这种角色塑造是成功的，使Styx成为这个世界中一个讨喜的倔强存在，但在幽默方面却显得平淡。Styx系列游戏充满了过时的引用和打破第四面墙的俏皮话，但这些几乎从未奏效。这远不足以完全破坏气氛，但确实达到了令人极度翻白眼的程度。如果你喜欢在前两部Styx游戏中看到的内容，那么即将推出的《Blades of Greed》的试玩版现已在Steam上提供。在上一部Styx游戏问世近十年后，它承诺将带来更高水平的打磨——并希望伴随而来的是不那么刺耳的幽默感。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

HONG KONG, January 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The Toys & Games Fair and Baby Products Fair were organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), while the Stationery & School Supplies Fair was jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. The four-day physical fairs attracted some 82,000 buyers from 121 countries and regions, fostering cross-regional trade and cross-section cooperation. Opening to both trade buyers and the public, the newly launched “Pop & Play” pavilion was a big draw at the Toys & Games Fair and attracted some 10,000 public visits. The pavilion helped local toy brands connect with global buyers to expand into international markets, further unleashing the commercial potential of their IPs, while also enabling Chinese Mainland and overseas brands and IPs to engage directly with local fans of trendy toys and collectibles.Over 41,000 buyers visited the Toys & Games Fair, while some 27,000 and some 14,000 buyers attended the Baby Products Fair and Stationery & School Supplies Fair respectively. Buyers from outside Hong Kong primarily came from the Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand from the ASEAN bloc, Korea, India and the US. Buyers from nearby Macao, ASEAN’s Vietnam, Belgium and Poland from Europe and South Africa also recorded double-digit growth. The fairs adopted the HKTDC’s hybrid EXHIBITION+ model, which includes the physical shows along with online access through the Click2Match smart business matching platform, which will continue connecting exhibitors and buyers until 22 January.Jenny Koo, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said: “This year's trio of fairs brought together more than 2,600 exhibitors from 37 countries and regions, attracting 82,000 global buyers to attend and kickstarting the HKTDC's busy calendar of events in 2026. The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion at the Toys & Games Fair proved to be highly popular, showcasing 150 trendy IPs alongside various fair premieres and global limited-edition collectibles. Representatives from diverse industries and sectors were keen to explore the commercial potential of different IPs and discuss cross-industry collaboration opportunities. The pavilion was also open to members of the public, with large numbers of visitors checking in, snapping photos and engaging directly with exhibitors. We believe the fair can amplify IP value through cultural integration, brand collaborations and market strategies, helping local brands to take their businesses beyond Hong Kong and onto the international stage."“Pop & Play” pavilion drove cross-industry IP collaborations, opened to public to promote interaction between industry and fansThe three fairs continued with the theme “New Play for All”, with the enduring popularity of trendy and collectible toys injecting strong growth momentum into the toy industry. The new “Pop & Play” pavilion brought together popular international and local IPs. Hong Kong exhibitor Matrix Promotion showcased 11 original local IPs and presented a series of fair-exclusive debut products. Founder and CEO Ray Leung said: “Combining B2C elements with B2B provides an energetic atmosphere that makes it easier to facilitate collaborations and build relationships with potential partners. Through the online and offline business matchings, we established around 50 local business contacts. These included not only toy industry buyers, but also cross-industry cooperation opportunities, such as with theme parks, loyalty programmes, digital commerce platforms, finance and insurance companies. These mainly involve designing exclusive premium items for clients based on their own IPs, which is currently a major trend in the market.”Onsite sales of IP products were also brisk. IP character B.Duck has long been popular in both Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland. Hong Kong Sales Representative for the company, Lai Chi-ying, shared: “The new ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion successfully integrates B2B and B2C elements, reaffirming that trendy collectibles remain a key industry trend locally and globally. During the fair, we connected with 30 potential clients — mainly toy distributors — from countries including Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Dubai, Russia, and North America. Our blind boxes also were a big hit with visitors, selling over 100 units in a short time. We expect participation in the event to contribute around 10% of our annual business growth.”Meanwhile, trendy toy enthusiast Mr. Hung visited the pavilion, saying: “The ‘Pop & Play’ pavilion offers an attractive and rich selection. We could appreciate many popular local and international trendy toy IPs, as well as the latest hot anime and IP-licensed products. It’s the perfect spot for exploring trendy collectibles and pop culture merchandise. The variety of trendy toys available for sale onsite is remarkably diverse. I spent around HK$2,000 and picked up multiple items including IP T-shirts, keychains, figurines, and Marvel toys – it was a truly fruitful visit!"Hong Kong toy exhibitor draws buyers’ attention with self-developed AI toysEastcolight (Hong Kong) Limited, a long-time participant at the Toys & Games Fair, showcased its self-developed artificial intelligence (AI) interactive story machine this year. Co-founder Salley Sze said: “With AI becoming a core market trend, our latest toy products now incorporate AI-assisted learning features. These AI products alone are expected to generate at least US$1 million in annual sales through the fair, while our other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) product lines are projected to achieve US$2 million sales.”Happy Ageing label saw rising demand as sustainable toys remained popularWith ageing populations becoming a global reality, toys and games designed specifically for seniors or intergenerational family fun are now a rapidly growing market. The new Happy Ageing label was introduced at this year’s Toys & Games Fair to help identify products in this category. Peri Chow, Director of FritzS Learning (Hong Kong), said: “The new label has greatly helped our market expansion. During the fair, we connected with approximately 30 new clients from different industries and regions, including the Chinese Mainland, Germany, the Philippines, South Africa and Spain, such as nursing home caregivers and buyers for children’s toys.”Sustainable consumption continued to be a key focus across the fairs. In addition to the Green Toys zone at the Toys & Games Fair, both the toys and stationery fairs continued to employ the Green Solutions green leaf label, further facilitating the procurement of eco-friendly products. This year, over 400 exhibitors displayed the green leaf logo, double the number compared to 2024. DeAgostini Collectibles from Spain is a global publisher and distributor of collectibles. Sourcing Manager CMC, Sandra Lopez Herrero said, "We are particularly interested in sustainable design, especially the battery-free, hydraulic-powered eco-friendly toys exhibited by a Chinese Mainland supplier. We plan to place an order worth around US$1 million. The green leaf label, along with the Click2Match and Scan2Match platforms, have helped us track products and stay updated on emerging trends, such as the use of eco-friendly materials and the integration of artificial intelligence in toys."At the Baby Products Fair, the World of Strollers and Gear and ODM Strollers and Gear zones together hosted approximately 230 exhibitors, with an increase in both exhibitor numbers and fair areas compared to last year. The Selection of Europe pavilion returned in 2026 together with the Korean and Hong Kong Children, Babies, Maternity Industries Association pavilions. Among the European exhibitors, Swedish exhibitor AXKID expressed recognition of Hong Kong’s role as an international trade and innovation hub. Managing Director Roger Yan said: “As a leading city in innovation, Hong Kong helps us expand our market and reach more international customers. During the fair, we met buyers from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Japan, and Türkiye. One Bulgarian client has already placed an order for 2,000 child safety seats, valued at approximately €1.7 million. We will definitely exhibit again next year.”Jointly organised by the HKTDC and Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, this year’s Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair welcomed Blaxall Optics Low Vision Limited from New Zealand for the first time. Company Director Gang Cheng said: "We showcased a range of optical magnifiers and related products and connected with 10 new buyers from Hong Kong, Macao, Poland, Thailand and more at the physical fair and through the Click2Match smart-matching platform. We anticipate these contacts will bring at least a 5% annual growth to our business, equivalent to US$100,000 in orders."Asian Toy & Games Forum explored key issues for toy manufacturersThe flagship Asian Toys & Games Forum was held during the Toys & Games Fair. Themed “Empowering the Toy Industry for Global Success”, the forum invited industry experts and guest speakers to discuss the latest industry updates and developments. Loo Wee Teck, Global Insights Manager, Toys and Games, Euromonitor International, shared insights on the toys and games market outlook and opportunities, while Alex Lin, Vice President and General Manager, Disney Consumer Products, Greater China and Korea, The Walt Disney Company, covered the global IP ecosystem and merchandising strategies.For more comments from exhibitors and buyers, please visit the following websites:- Toys and Games Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hktoyfair/en/success-stories- Baby Products Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkbabyfair/en/success-stories- Stationery & School Supplies Fair: https://www.hktdc.com/event/hkstationeryfair/en/success-storiesPhoto download: https://bit.ly/49IAOHhThe 52nd HKTDC Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, the 17th HKTDC Hong Kong Baby Products Fair and the 24th Hong Kong International Stationery & School Supplies Fair, concluded successfully today at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

TOKYO, Jan 15, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) today announced the launch of its "NEC Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure Solution" in Japan, enabling flexible and distributed deployment of computing resources such as servers and GPUs. This solution aims to reduce capital investment and operating costs for data centers and research institutions, while also promoting energy efficiency, by leveraging NEC's proprietary "ExpEther" technology for reliable and low-latency transmission of IT equipment signals.NEC Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure SolutionThe demand for AI applications, including generative AI and data analysis, has been rapidly expanding. However, data centers and research institutions face challenges in flexibly scaling resources, leading to increased capital investment and operational costs. Servers are often configured to handle peak loads, resulting in over-provisioning of resources, wasted power, and rising costs due to frequent equipment upgrades. As a result, there is a strong need for efficient, energy-saving, and flexible operational approaches.This solution can separate components such as CPUs and GPUs from their physical enclosures, enabling them to be distributed over data center-scale networks. This facilitates flexible and efficient operation of various resources within data centers and enterprises, maximizing the overall utilization efficiency of systems. Its effectiveness has been confirmed through joint verification with Osaka University and at the NEC Inzai Data Center, with results being progressively published on NEC’s website.1. High Scalability and Flexible System ConstructionThe solution consists of ExpEther boards equipped with a 100G version of the ExpEther IP core (*1) which enables 100Gbps Ethernet optical fiber connectivity, an expansion IO Box capable of housing eight GPUs, and the NEC Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure Manager (*2) for efficient resource operations. These components allow for the flexible, large scale distributed deployment of computing resources, free from constraints of enclosures or installation locations. This enables flexible and dynamic configuration of computing resources across different floors or buildings within data centers or enterprises, according to the power supply and cooling capabilities of each location. Furthermore, equipment upgrades can be performed flexibly on a per-device basis, maintaining high scalability while keeping initial costs low.2. Efficient Utilization of Computing Resources and Cost ReductionThe ability to flexibly allocate resources as needed prevents resource shortages during peak times and avoids idle assets. Additionally, by turning off unused resources, power consumption is suppressed, contributing to significant reductions in capital investment and operational costs through effective utilization of computing resources.Configuration of the NEC Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure SolutionThe "NEC Composable Disaggregated Infrastructure Solution" represents a significant step forward in optimizing computing resource management. By enabling flexible, distributed deployment and efficient utilization of resources, NEC aims to address critical challenges faced by data centers and research institutions. Moving forward, NEC will first launch this solution in the Japanese market. NEC will continue to innovate and expand this technology for various sectors, contributing to the development of more efficient and sustainable digital infrastructure.(*1) This article is based on results obtained from a project, JPNP20017, subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).(*2) This article is based on results obtained from a project, JPNP21029, subsidized by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).About NECThe NEC Group leverages technology to create social value and promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.
