Former Bioware/Ubisoft Devs Are Making A New Action-Adventure Called Eternal Strands

Developer Yellow Brick Games, a new game development studio founded by AAA industry vets, including the longtime creative director of BioWare’s Dragon Age series, Mike Laidlaw, has announced Eternal Strands, an action-adventure that blends Zelda with Shadow of the Colossus-like giant boss fights. Check out the world premiere of the reveal trailer as part of IGN First!

I can see a lot of the games that might have inspired this. Good shet. Here's hoping this turns out good.

[LordoftheCritics]

This is not Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Re-Re Reckoning?

[SimpleSlave]

lol. It does have some of that too. Yeah, I can see it in the map shots and the art style.

It also has some Breath of the Wild, Dragon's Dogma, Prey (2017), Shadow of the Colossus, even some Attack on Titan with the constant shots of the Character trying to cut the back of their necks. There's even that one move that Brad Pitt does in the movie Troy. And I'm pretty sure I'm missing a lot more.

But you know what? It does look fun and promising. So we'll see.

Looks unique. We need to support devs that leave these AAA studios and make their own studio and games. If we want the industry to thrive.

did you really say that this game looks...unique?

[Lightning77]

Uh huh.

[spicelicka]

Aesthetically it looks like a generic mobile game, but gameplay seems like it has potential.

Anthem: Repurposed

With more DEI and ESG in the mix.

Looks cool

[Friendlygamer]

Kinda sick of this aesthetic

[Ristul]

I have to agree, I'm sure the developers spent a lot of time on this but feels too similar to all the other games of that style.

[Shane Kim]

Its got that immortal phoenix rising shit smear all over it. Hope the gameplay is fun though.

[phoenixwing]

i'm not. however, it takes a pretty extreme aesthetic to annoy me. like i love every cel shaded game and and this style too. as well as most anime.

[RNTody]

When I saw the combination of BioWare and Ubisoft I expected very little, but I must say that this genuinely looks cool in spite of its obvious inspirations. Wishlisted it to see how it goes.

[notachance]

a strand type of game?

[jznrpg]

I don’t care the Immortals of Fenyx art style. It’s why I haven’t bought Prince of Persia.

[Demetrius]

Imagine if rockstar vets and saints row past devs work together sheesh gta 6 would have some competition then but that's only a dream lmao if most of us gamers came together and made a title I know it would be hittin fr most likely would be better than half the bs that's out nowadays I'm ready to to see open world revamped

2005 graphics, "nice".
