Shadwen will launch on computers, PS4 on 17 May

Upcoming stealth-action game Shadwen is heading to the PlayStation 4, PC, Mac OS X and Linux systems on 17 May, developed Frozenbyte announced today.

The Finnish developer, that previously developed the likes of Trine, also notes that the game will be available on a bevy of platforms, including Steam, PSN, GOG and Humble.

“Shadwen is a stealth-action game where the only rule is to remain unseen. Stay hidden – or the ruthless guards will kill you on sight!,” the presser explains.

The game also encourages freedom of movement, cautious play and uses a clever time mechanic akin to Superhot — time stands still when you’re not moving.

Of course, there’s an ethical conundrum of kill or be killed, but that question will likely be answered by gamers come 17 May.

For now, have a look at the trailer below.
