Both Citizen Sleeper 2 and Eternal Strands are making their way to Xbox Game Pass in January, further enriching the platform’s game lineup. Set your calendar for January 28, 2025, when you can dive into the action-adventure world of Eternal Strands by Yellow Brick Games. Just a few days later, on January 31, 2025, you can experience the much-anticipated Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector.
Eternal Strands
Created by Yellow Brick Games, Eternal Strands is an enchanting fantasy action-adventure game that casts you as Brynn, a Weaver gifted with powerful magic. Long ago, the Enclave isolated itself behind an impenetrable barrier, but a group of weavers have managed to break through. Now, it’s Brynn’s mission to explore this forgotten world and reclaim the cultural heritage of her people.
As you venture through wild landscapes and the bustling capital of Dynevron, you’ll harness your magical abilities and wield a variety of enchanted weapons. Your journey will pit you against a host of fantastical foes, from humanoid constructs to massive beasts, as you unravel the enigma surrounding this lost land.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector picks up where the successful 2022 narrative RPG Citizen Sleeper left off. You assume the role of a sleeper—essentially, a human consciousness within an artificial body—on the run from the corporation responsible for creating and owning you. To carve out a new existence, you’ll need to assemble a network of allies and commandeer a ship as you traverse the Starward Belt.
Developer Jump Over the Age has revealed that this sequel enhances the tabletop RPG mechanics of the original by introducing a new ‘Push’ ability, available to each class. This feature can be a game-changer during challenging missions or could lead you into precarious situations depending on your timing and strategy.
Citizen Sleeper has been hailed as one of the top games on Xbox Game Pass, making it a must-play for subscribers. As these exciting new titles prepare to join the platform, what are your thoughts? Share your excitement and speculations with us in the comments below!
