Eternal Strands — a game from former Dragon Age developers, comes to Xbox Game Pass in 2025

What you need to know

  • Yellow Brick Games, based in Canada, are made up of veterans from Bioware and Ubisoft, and showed off Eternal Strands earlier this year.
  • Today at the Xbox Partner Preview, the game was announced for Xbox Game Pass for the first time, and we can expect it in 2025. 

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that Eternal Strands is shaping up to be an extraordinary addition to the action-adventure genre. Having been a fan of Bioware’s Dragon Age series and Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, the prospect of a game developed by veterans from both studios is nothing short of exhilarating.


During today’s Xbox Partner Preview, Yellow Brick Games revealed a fresh gameplay trailer for Eternal Strands. Although we caught a glimpse of this third-person action-adventure game earlier in the year, this is the first announcement that it will be available on Xbox Game Pass in 2025. The exciting demonstration emphasized the game’s unruly magic system, allowing players to set enemies, trees, and even objects ablaze (not just that, but you can also freeze things too). The trailer was brimming with gameplay footage, suggesting that the developers from Bioware, known for Dragon Age, have successfully retained their distinctive humor and talent for creating captivating magical effects.

As a researcher, I’ve been captivated by this upcoming systemic action-RPG from a talented team with experience in Dragon Age, Assassin’s Creed, and other renowned titles. The unique magic system that enables the merging of spells to perform extraordinary feats like freezing a flying dragon’s wings, causing it to plummet to the ground, piques my interest. The game also boasts intricate crafting systems and colossal, climbable bosses, making for an enticing blend. However, learning that it will be available on Game Pass on release day only intensifies my anticipation for its launch in early 2025, making the wait all the more challenging.
