Former Dragon Age boss' new action-RPG is Eternal Strands and out next year

Following a bit of a tease last week, Yellow Brick Games – the studio founded by former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw – has properly revealed its new third-person action adventure, Eternal Strands, which is coming to PC and consoles next year.

Eternal Strands casts players as Brynn, a member of a dwindling group of magic users known as the Weavers, who sets out across a fantasy kingdom ravaged by a cataclysmic magical event to uncover the mysteries of a once-powerful nation – the Enclave – and recover her people’s home.

You can glimpse some of Eternal Strands’ behemoth-climbing and debris-tossing in the reveal trailer above, and there’s also a peek at some of its less gargantuan enemies, its flashy combat, its striking fantasy world, and a couple more magical powers – including the ability to fashion bridges (and presumably other structures) out of ice.
