In the case of the action-adventure Eternal Strands from Yellow Brick Games, you won't have to buy a pig in a poke: on January 21, exactly one week before the release, the developers will release a demo version.
True, only the boyars from Gaben Bely's flock will be able to try out the new game about killing colossal monsters with the help of magic and competent interaction with the environment. Although from the official commentary with a streamlined wording it follows that the trial version may still appear on consoles.
Eternal Strands will be released on PC (Steam, EGS), Xbox Series X|S (including as part of PC/Xbox Game Pass) and PlayStation 5 on January 28, 2025.
