First, they show the ensouled ghost ship Red Marley, which will serve as the base. Here briefings are held, companions are selected, and the landing site is determined. Then the crew embarks on a mission to rescue Captain Harlock from a heavily guarded Inquisition outpost.
Stealth movement will be a major advantage. The main protagonist, Afia, can teleport and execute powerful attacks. Quentin Aalbers excels at diversions, while Teresa la Ciega, being a sniper, can eliminate enemies from a distance.
They also showcase the “Shadow” mechanic, which allows pausing the game and issuing commands to crew members to execute them simultaneously afterwards. Players can also mark the positions of guards patrolling the area.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew will be released on August 17 for PC, PS5, and XSX|S. From June 19 to June 26, players can check out a demo version that will be available as part of Steam Next Fest.
