As we ring in January, Xbox Game Pass is bringing some exciting titles for gaming enthusiasts to dive into. Two standout games are making their debut: “Eternal Strands” by Yellow Brick Games on January 28, 2025, and the eagerly awaited sequel “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” arriving on January 31, 2025. These additions are sure to enrich the Game Pass roster with thrilling new adventures.
### Eternal Strands
In “Eternal Strands,” players are swept into a spellbinding fantasy action-adventure crafted by the creative minds at Yellow Brick Games. You’ll step into the shoes of Brynn, a Weaver with formidable mystical powers at her disposal. Many years ago, the Enclave shut itself off from the wider world using a robust barrier. However, a determined group of Weavers have pierced through this enclosure. Now, Brynn is tasked with exploring this hidden realm to reclaim the cultural heritage of her people.
As you journey through the untamed landscapes and the bustling city of Dynevron, you’ll wield both your magical skills and an array of enchanted weaponry. Your quest involves vanquishing a variety of mythical adversaries, ranging from humanoid constructs to massive beasts, as you unravel the secrets buried within this forgotten world.
### Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Following up the remarkable 2022 release, “Citizen Sleeper,” the sequel named “Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector” continues the narrative RPG’s captivating storytelling. You reprise your role as a sleeper—a digital imitation of a human consciousness encased in an engineered body. Your mission is a daring escape from the clutches of the corporation that both created and owns you. To carve out a new destiny, you must forge alliances, assemble a loyal crew, and secure a ship while navigating the vast reaches of the Starward Belt.
Jump Over the Age, the developers of this enthralling sequel, have introduced enhanced RPG mechanics with the sequel. One intriguing feature is the new ‘Push’ ability each class receives, which offers strategic advantages in tough situations but could also lead to precarious outcomes, dictated by your timing and choices.
“Citizen Sleeper” remains one of the finest offerings on Xbox Game Pass and continues to be a must-try for subscribers. Are these upcoming Game Pass titles catching your attention? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
