Eternal Strands: Dragon Age Vet Mike Laidlaw’s Action-RPG Lands in Early 2025
Eternal Strands: A Fantasy Action-RPG with a January Release Date
Get ready to embark on an epic adventure with Eternal Strands, the upcoming fantasy action-RPG from Yellow Brick Games, the studio founded by former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw. The game is set to launch on January 28th, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Game Pass.
The Story of Eternal Strands
In Eternal Strands, you’ll play as Brynn, a member of a dwindling group of magic users known as the Weavers. Your quest begins in a fantasy kingdom ravaged by a cataclysmic magical event, where you’ll set out to uncover the mysteries of the world and recover your people’s cultural home.
Inspiration from Classic Games
Eternal Strands draws inspiration from beloved games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Shadow of the Colossus, and Monster Hunter. The game’s open-world design allows you to explore a vast environment, climbable from top to bottom, and engage in action-packed combat with massive creatures known as the Arks.
Magical Abilities and Environmental Interplay
As you progress through the game, you’ll discover Brynn’s magical abilities, which are built around flame, ice, and telekinetic force. These powers can be enhanced by the shifting temperatures caused by the world’s unstable climate, allowing for unprecedented reactivity in combat. You can create ice bridges, burn barriers, or launch Brynn across the world, making combat and exploration a dynamic and creative experience.

Eternal Strands will be available on January 28th, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. The game will also be a day one release for Game Pass subscribers, including Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
