The new independent studio Yellow Brick Games, founded in Quebec City by former veterans of studios such as BioWare and Ubisoft, today announced the development of Eternal Strands, an action-adventure in development for 4 years on Unreal Engine 5 that will see us fight against lethal giants in a world animated by "next-generation physics".

The game is expected during 2025, but after a long development the team is finally ready to tell us about it and show us the gameplay; Here are the official details, the announcement trailer and a set of images.

Take on epic towering creatures, combining your magical abilities with an arsenal of powerful weapons to stop the world from falling apart in this third-person action-adventure game.

Eternal Strands, a fantasy action-adventure game, is the debut title from Yellow Brick Games, a new indie studio founded by industry veterans.

Step into the shoes of Brynn, a fearless young Weaver determined to unleash the cradle of her people's culture. With your armamentarium of powerful abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, take on a variety of enemies ranging from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. In battle, you can use the environment and temperature to your advantage against a diverse array of fantastical creatures, for example by directing a dragon's fiery breath at its icy minions. Scale any surface and use your arcane abilities to create new paths. Explore the world on the trail of the Enclave's lost mysteries and challenge gigantic titans on your journey.

The world is your weapon

At the heart of Eternal Strands is a revolutionary new system that allows for interactive gameplay: heat spreads, cold freezes, and destructive effects in real time allow you to experience a responsiveness in combat never seen before. Hurl burning tree trunks at enemies with telekinesis, smash nearby trees to block enemy fire, or concentrate pure telekinetic force to tear boulders from the earth itself.

Weaver of Magic

He wears the Cloak, a magical garment that can channel the raw force of magic and transform it into tongues of flame, icy ice, and telekinetic force. Combine your growing array of powers with enchanted weapons and armor crafted from slain enemies to create a custom look and style. Block incoming attacks with a magical ice wall, hurl waves of flame from a colossal two-handed blade, or knock enemies off a cliff with the sheer force of magic.

Face the giants

Face gigantic opponents and defeat them by combining sword, spells, and mobility. Jump on their towering bodies to attack from different angles. Shatter their armor or target weak spots to reduce their protection. Use ice to pin down a towering enemy's limbs, arcane flames to burn their fur, grab projectiles thrown at you on the fly, and turn their own attacks on your enemies in battles that will leave scars on the environment.

Master the secrets of an unstable climate

Increase the effectiveness of your frost-related abilities during an ice storm to open up new paths. Use a heat wave to start a fire and watch it spread to enemies as it consumes the dry trees and grass all around it.

A world full of secrets

Explore the wilderness and the capital of Dynevron, discover hidden secrets, as every surface can be climbed. Magical abilities can build bridges, burn barriers, or project Brynn to the other side of the world. The next-generation physics system encourages and rewards players' creativity in both exploration and combat. As the secrets of the Enclave unfold, return to base camp to consult a rich cast of characters. Everyone will be eager to uncover the mysteries and reveal what has happened to this lost bastion of power and knowledge.

A realm of mystery, opportunity, danger, and wonder: the Enclave awaits.
