Slated to arrive on January 28th, Eternal Strands is a third-person action-adventure from Yellow Brick Games. To prepare players for the battles against the towering giants, the devs have shared a new blog post providing answers for the most frequently asked questions.
The team revealed the inspiration behind Eternal Strands, mentioning such games as Dragon’s Dogma, Shadow of the Colossus and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. What sets the game apart from that is seamlessly weaving together gigantic adversaries, raging flame, chilling ice, and telekinetic force.
The world itself becomes your weapon, with the power of Unreal Engine 5 rewarding player creativity in exploration as much as combat. However, the developers note that they don’t consider Eternal Strands to be an open-world game, but rather an “open zone”. There are some interconnected areas, but by and large, these biomes have limitations in when you can access them defined by your progression through the story.
“(The protagonist) Brynn is a badass treasure hunter and adrenaline junkie. She alone is responsible for diving headfirst into danger, and coming back with lost artifacts or treasure. Her expeditions are the driving force behind what her travelling companions are able to discover about the Enclave. She is the embodiment of the idea that “it’s cool to care,” and being unabashedly passionate about whatever it is you’re into. We can’t wait for players to meet her!”
