As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can confidently say that the gaming industry has never ceased to surprise me with its innovative collaborations and exciting new releases. The upcoming title, Eternal Strands, is no exception. Having grown up with Final Fantasy titles from Square Enix, it’s simply mind-boggling to see Yellow Brick Games partnering with the Creative Studio III team known for Final Fantasy XIV Online and Final Fantasy XVI.

On January 28, 2025, the game titled “Eternal Strands” is set to debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC through Steam. This announcement was made by its developer, Yellow Brick Games. Moreover, it will be accessible via Game Pass as well. Excitingly, Yellow Brick Games has teamed up with Square Enix’s Creative Studio III, known for creating “Final Fantasy XIV Online” and “Final Fantasy XVI”, to develop unique content for the game post-launch.

I’m absolutely pumped up! It turns out that Yellow Brick Games is teaming up with Square Enix’s Creative Studio III, the geniuses behind Final Fantasy XIV Online and Final Fantasy XVI, to create entirely new, unique content for Eternal Strands. Can’t wait to see what they come up with!

The initial complimentary post-launch upgrade offers exciting additions including a fresh Epic monster, a custom weapon and armor set, co-created with the talented lead artist Yusuke Mogi from Creative Studio III, famed for his work on Final Fantasy XIV Online.

The latest trailer offered a sneak peek at how the aerial scenes in Eternal Strands will appear, adding an impressive, visually engaging element to the game that promises to redefine combat, showcasing Creative Studio III’s distinctive and cherished artistic style.

Being longtime admirers of Square Enix and the captivating games crafted by Creative Studio III, led by Naoki Yoshida who is a member of Square Enix’s board of directors and heads Creative Studio III, this opportunity to create our own original fantasy universe and collaborate with their team to expand it with fresh content feels like a dream come true for us at Yellow Brick Games. As an independent studio embarking on our first project, we will always be grateful for the chance they’ve given us. We eagerly anticipate the moment when players can enjoy the innovative designs of master artist Yusuke Mogi in our upcoming spring 2025 free post-launch update for Eternal Strands.
