Title: Manipulating The Elements in Eternal Strands
Yellow Brick Games, after teased the unveiling of their first project last Wednesday has released the trailer for Eternal Strands. This fantasy-action adventure title will be released in 2025.
The story of Eternal Strands revolves around Brynn. A warrior called a Weaver, she is searching for the secrets to the once powerful nation known as the Enclave. Gameplay is based on using elements, temperature and the environment to your advantage. Brynn uses a magical mantle that grants her the power to channel magic and manipulate elements. In a reactive world, she can use weather events like a sudden freeze to enhance ice powers and build bridges that open up new pathways. A heatwave could be used to ignite fires which spread in a realistic way, devouring both enemies and vegetation.
Below you can watch the first gameplay alpha trailer from , IGN.
Brynn can use the Mantel to send enemies flying by using a force push. She also uses enchanted armor and weapons.
Players must climb giant enemies known as Arks to defeat them. Brynn, while mounted, can use flames to burn away their fur, or ice to bind them. Yellow Brick Games claims that Eternal Strands world is packed full of secrets. The game allows players to climb on any surface and the next-gen system of physics encourages creativity.
Mike Laidlaw is the chief creative officer of Yellow Brick Games. He says, “Our goal with Eternal Strands was to create an adventure which brought a fun and exciting element to fantasy while also encouraging players to explore its system.” The game is very different from the ones I have worked on before, and answering the question “what if you do X?” with “Cool!” has been an absolute delight. It was also exciting to be able to create a new world which encourages this type of play.
