Step Into the Shoes of Brynn
In Eternal Strands, you’ll embody Brynn, a bold young magic “weaver” on a mission to recover her people’s cultural homeland. As players delve into this adventure, they’ll face a variety of foes from towering beasts to humanoid constructs.
With gameplay that encourages experimentation, the magic system is set to be groundbreaking. The new “cast and combine” mechanic lets you manipulate the environment to gain the tactical edge in combat. Want to set grass ablaze for crowd control? Freeze opponents in their tracks? Create ice bridges on the fly? The flexibility is truly limitless “The world is your weapon,” states the devs in the latest trailer, showing us just how evolving tactics can turn the tide. Alongside boss battles against colossal enemies like the Ark of the Forge and Ark of the Living Flame, you’ll be tested in every way imaginable.
Open Levels, Not an Open World
While the specifics are still unfolding, one thing’s for sure: Eternal Strands introduces players to open levels instead of a sprawling open world. Each arena provides creative freedom that echoes themes found in both Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild. The ability to pin drakes to the ground or encase foes in forcefield bubbles adds an exhilarating layer of strategy to encounters. You’ll utilize spells to create paths, manipulate temperature, and leverage natural elements to take down your adversaries.
As part of the Xbox family, Eternal Strands joins an impressive lineup of day-one Game Pass titles like FBC: Firebreak and high-profile releases including Avowed and Fable. The future looks bright for Xbox Game Pass subscribers in 2025, as their library grows richer with these anticipated releases.
Mark your calendars! Early 2025 promises not just a game but an adventure that fans will revel in. Are you ready to embrace the magic of Eternal Strands?
