Yellow Brick Games, the studio co-founded by Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw, has finally announced its first project. Titled Eternal Strands, it looks like an incredible blend of Shadow of the Colossus with modern Zelda, and it's instantly shot to the top of my gaming wishlist.
Eternal Strands is an action game that gives you an array of magic elemental powers that can interact with the world in robust, emergent ways. You can shoot ice to build a bridge over a ravine or use fire to burn down obstacles. Telekinetic powers let you hurl pieces of the environment - or even other monsters - at enemies. It even looks like you'll be able to pin giant enemies down by encasing their limbs in ice. It seems like the exact sort of physics-driven simulation that's made Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom such joys to interact with.
