Former Dragon Age creative director says 'I just desperately don't want to overhype anything' in his new studio's first game

Eternal Strands - a large metallic monster holds a hammer while a player climbs its face.

After over a decade in leadership on the Dragon Age series at BioWare and a brief stint at Ubisoft, Mike Laidlaw co-founded Yellow Brick Games in 2020, and has been quietly working on his first project for four years. Yellow Brick finally revealed Eternal Strands yesterday, but just a couple weeks ago during an interview at the Game Developers Conference, Laidlaw told me that he really does not want to overhype anything—not due to a lack of confidence in the studio's first game, but in anticipation of what it will create next.

"Most studios do not find magic immediately"

Mike Laidlaw, Yellow Brick Games CCO
