Coming from Yellow Brick Games, Eternal Strands is an upcoming third-person action adventure featuring towering creatures to fight. To offset the power imbalance brought on by sheer size, the protagonist Brynn can blend magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons. The arsenal and its synergy with Brynn’s powers is the topic of the latest Dev Update. Let’s check it out!
Brynn can equip 3 weapons (one of each type) before leaving Basecamp to explore The Enclave: Sword & Shield, Bow & Arrow and Two-Hander. The game allows you to learn how to craft elemental versions of each type of weapon, imbued with Kinetic, Frost, or Flame magic. Each elemental weapon has a unique ability attached to it, for a total of 9 different options.
Check out the blog post to find the precise strengths and abilities of all available weapons.
The developers from Yellow Brick Games will be on hand during Gamescom 2024 with a hands-on demo. There will also be a new trailer to look forward to!
