The game’s details:
“Cast and Combine” Trailer
The “Cast and Combine” gameplay trailer unveiled today reveals the Highland Iceclaw—a formidable, flying Epic that will challenge players to rethink their approach in combat as they dodge its chilling ice attacks or climb onto its back mid-flight with a kinetic launch.
The trailer also showcases how gameplay mechanics are meant to synergize, encouraging players to cast magic powers and combine them strategically for maximum effect. With this versatile magic system, players can shape their own combat style in countless ways combining frost, flame, and kinetic force to overcome the formidable Arks and Epic creatures within the Enclave. Once defeated, these enemies will respawn, providing an opportunity to challenge them in different areas with new strategies to harvest their threads or collect rare resources using new elemental combinations.
An Epic Arrival: Eternal Strands Heads to the Epic Games Store
The studio recently revealed that the game will also be available on the Epic Games Store at launch. This announcement was made during Unreal Fest in Seattle in early October, where the studio’s CTO, Louis Tremblay, delivered a talk on the complex physics systems the programming team developed on Unreal Engine 5 to achieve a high level of interactivity between the world, the Epics, and the main character, Brynn.
