Developer Lince Works, known for the stealth action-adventure series Aragami, has announced it’s shutting down in April. In a new tweet, it confirmed that it would stop the development of new projects indefinitely starting next month.

“The last couple of years have been particularly difficult as we shifted towards the development of new IPs and a new course for the company. We were ambitious about what we wanted to achieve as a studio, but sadly, although we made good progress, the economic context was not favorable, and we ran out of time.” The work it had done for the past year will go unfinished, which “breaks out hearts.”

The developer confirmed that Aragami and Aragami 2 would remain available on storefronts. Online co-op will also remain accessible for all players. After thanking fans and its development team members, Lince Works said it would “do its best” to find the “best place” for latter to continue their careers.

“Although we may be closing our doors, the memories and experiences shared with the team and you, our fans, will remain forever.”

Lince Works made an impact in 2016 with Aragami, a stealth title where players must remain in the shadows. Aragami 2 launched in 2021 and improved on the mechanics, presentation and combat while adding support for up to three players in co-op. While it didn’t receive the most critical praise, there’s still plenty to enjoy, as noted in our review.

Thank you for this journey. A message from Lince Works. pic.twitter.com/hr72RIur2o

15 Best Stealth Games of this Generation

Shubhankar Parijat — Mon, 28 Sep 2020 10:59:53 +0000

The eighth console generation hasn’t been the kindest to the stealth genre. Franchises like Splinter Cell have completely skipped the generation, while others like Metal Gear Solid seemingly had their last hurrah, while all around, there weren’t nearly as many stealth games over the last 6-7 years as there once used to be. But that doesn’t mean there was nothing to enjoy for fans of the genre- though the quantity has definitely been lacking, when it comes to quality, there’s been no issues whatsoever. Some of the best games this entire generation, in fact, have been stealth titles. And as this generation winds down and we enter into the PS5 and Xbox Series X era, in this feature, we’re going to take a look at the best stealth games of the generation, starting with #15 and counting right down to our favourite stealth title of the generation.

#15. ARAGAMI

Fans of Tenchu games, you don’t want to miss this one. Aragami is not flawless, and with a little more polish, it could have been a significantly better game, but when it works, it works very well. It’s a strictly stealth-oriented game through and through, which is something that old school stealth fans will appreciate greatly, and it looks beautiful to boot. Developers Lince Works are currently working on a sequel, and if they can take the first game’s solid foundation and introduce some smart improvements, they might have a real gem on their hands.

15 Best Video Game Stealth Missions of All Time

Ravi Sinha — Wed, 20 May 2020 19:33:12 +0000

Whether it’s assassinating a target or infiltrating a location to “retrieve” something, stealth missions are hard to design. On top of realistic – but fair – enemy AI and multiple ways to complete objectives, the best stealth missions need to evoke a feeling of high stakes. Of tension and an underlying fear of failure (or death, whichever comes first). Let’s take at what we believe to be 15 of the greatest tension filled stealth missions of all time.

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory – Panama Bank

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory had its fair amount of action but the Panama Bank level is where stealth reigned supreme. Your mission was to steal $50,000,000 in bearer bonds, which must be done by authorizing vault access from three different panels in the building. Getting into the bank is going to be your first obstacle – the only real option is through the roof and once inside, you’ll need to deal with laser sensors, cameras, motion sensors and guards. Though Chaos Theory wouldn’t end a mission if an alarm was triggered, Panama Bank was still nerve-wracking in its own right.

Top Stealth Games On PS4 You Need To Play

Before stealth games really blew up, action games were more about running face-first into enemies. However, when stealth games became more popular, developers created high-octane experiences focused on sneaking around avoiding conflict. How does the genre look in this day and age? Let’s check out 15 of the best stealth games on PlayStation 4 (with some titles also being available for Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch).

Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain

Yes, the story-telling was uneven and the ending was kind of disappointing. However, Kojima Productions’ Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain absolutely delivers on the promise of systemic stealth gameplay. Guide a robot arm into a guard’s face. Sabotage convoys with horse dung. Wait till dark for more cover and exploit every aspect of the environment to succeed. All of this only scratches the surface of what’s possible with Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain.
