It turns out that we will have the opportunity to review this project before the release.

  1. On Bluesky, Mike Laidlaw announced that the demo of Eternal Strands will debut on Steam on January 21.
  2. The developer explains that they decided to create a demo version because many players asked for it. Moreover, Eternal Strands is supposed to be the type of game that greatly benefits from direct contact.

Laidlaw admits that he is both excited and nervous about the upcoming release. For most of his career, he worked on big AAA games, the development of which involved hundreds of people. Eternal Strands is quite different, as it is an indie title developed by a team of 60 devs.

Eternal Strands is heading to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, at the moment everything indicates that only PC owners will be able to play the demo.
