Former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw’s highly anticipated fantasy action-RPG, Eternal Strands, is set to make its debut on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Game Pass on January 28th, 2025.
The Story of Eternal Strands
Eternal Strands revolves around Brynn, a member of the Weavers, a magical group facing extinction. Brynn embarks on a journey through a kingdom devastated by a magical catastrophe to uncover its secrets and restore her people’s heritage.
The game’s narrative draws inspiration from popular titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Shadow of the Colossus. Players will encounter massive boss creatures called Arks in the open world, reminiscent of foes in Monster Hunter games. Defeating these creatures yields valuable resources for crafting weapons and armor back at the base camp.

Eternal Strands boasts a dynamic combat system that integrates Brynn’s elemental abilities – fire, ice, and telekinesis – with the environment’s interactive elements. Players can manipulate temperature changes to enhance their powers, creating a unique combat experience. The game’s physics system encourages creativity in both combat and exploration, allowing players to interact with the world in innovative ways.

Upon its release, Eternal Strands will be accessible on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
