Eternal Strands Shimmers Onto the Scene with Austin Wintory’s Haunting Score
Ready your enchantments, would-be weavers—because Eternal Strands is officially out now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox Game Pass, and STOVE. Developed by Yellow Brick Games, this story-driven action-adventure blends high fantasy with deep sandbox elements, launching alongside an evocative original soundtrack by Austin Wintory, the Grammy-nominated composer behind Journey, The Banner Saga, and Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical.
A Debut Adventure with Surprising Depth
Fans who’ve been awaiting the release ever since the initial campaign can finally dive headlong into the Enclave, where creativity in spellcraft meets breakable environments begging for strategic (and occasionally explosive) experimentation. From battling enormous creatures in the air to harnessing magical powers on the ground, Eternal Strands positions itself as a thoroughly dynamic playground that rewards ingenuity.
And if you’re inclined to rummage through every corner of a lush fantasy realm, Brynn—the game’s fierce heroine—offers plenty of companionship as you scale cliffs, unearth hidden enclaves, and arm yourself with enchanted weapons. The driving force of Brynn’s determination is mirrored in a world that’s as inviting as it is rife with challenges. So expect to set your mind, and spells, ablaze against a horde of colossal foes—and maybe smash a few vases along the way.
A Soundscape Woven by Austin Wintory
No one captures the magic of a setting quite like Austin Wintory, and his work on Eternal Strands is no exception. Featuring 24 main tracks plus 3 bonus compositions, the soundtrack bends traditional fantasy motifs with experimental techniques, from reverse audio processing to unusual instrumentation. The aim? To create a sonic tapestry that’s both otherworldly and deeply personal—much like kintsugi, the art form that inspired it. Each piece resonates with the game’s themes of connection and resilience, perfectly reflecting the “broken-yet-better” motifs at the heart of the Enclave.
“Partnering with Yellow Brick Games has been a career highlight… The score is a sort of ‘deconstruction’ of many high fantasy tropes, trying to find fresh ways to express the grandeur of their story and world.”
—Austin Wintory, Composer
It’s available on all major streaming platforms—so even if you’re between battles, you can carry that epic sense of wonder in your headphones.
A Studio with Innovative Roots
Helmed by the visionary minds at Yellow Brick Games, who hail from Quebec City, this team of passionate creators believes in blending agile production with the pure joys of imaginative gameplay. Mike Laidlaw (Chief Creative Officer) notes that working with Wintory was a delight, and he relishes how the composer’s direction added an unexpected flair to the final soundtrack. The studio itself boasts a roster of industry veterans who have contributed to some of the biggest franchises around, now united under one roof to deliver a project that merges epic storytelling with a highly interactive world.
