Yellow Brick Games Unveils First Playable Demo and Exciting Updates for 'Eternal Strands' Ahead of Tokyo Game Show

The anticipation builds as Yellow Brick Games announces exciting developments for their highly anticipated action-adventure game, Eternal Strands, set to dazzle attendees at Tokyo Game Show 2024. Among the highlights are a public playable demo, a captivating new 2D trailer, and the addition of multiple language options at launch in early 2025.

First Public Playable Demo at Tokyo Game Show

For the first time, the general public will have the opportunity to dive into the world of Eternal Strands at TGS 2024 on the PlayStation 5 console. Visitors will explore the Enclave's vibrant world and challenge one of the game's nine Epic bosses – the Ark of the Living Flame. Thomas Giroux, CEO, and Jeff Skalski, Executive Producer & COO, will welcome attendees throughout the event, enhancing the community and industry engagement at their booth in the general area of the convention.

Frédéric St-Laurent B., Game Director, shares: "We were overwhelmed by the excitement around our game when media and content creators experienced our exclusive demo at Gamescom. Eternal Strands is a game you need to play to understand its unique appeal, driven by physics-based gameplay and synergistic magical powers. We're eager for TGS visitors to experience the thrill and develop their strategies to defeat the Ark of the Living Flame."

Revealing a New 2D Trailer: An Artistic Venture with Du Coup

In an impressive collaboration with Du Coup Animation, based in Quebec City, Yellow Brick Games reveals a new 2D animated trailer that offers the first glimpse into the game's narrative through its opening cutscene. Complemented by music from Grammy Award-nominated composer Austin Wintory (known for works like Journey and Assassin's Creed Syndicate), this trailer draws inspiration from award-winning animations like those in Sea of Stars. It promises to enrich the game's storytelling with hand-drawn animations that provide depth and a rich, visual experience.

Artistic Insights from Sebastien Primeau, Art Director: "In recent years, we've seen a surge in adaptations of our favorite games and movies into animated formats, with notable inspirations like Arcane influencing our creative direction. Opting for a 2D format allows us to offer a richly varied visual experience. Our partnership with Du Coup has been both a journey and a challenge as we merged our in-game aesthetics with their animated style, aiming to bridge these two creative worlds seamlessly."
