Exciting news for Xbox Game Pass subscribers: January brings two thrilling additions to the lineup with Citizen Sleeper 2 and Eternal Strands. Gamers can dive into action-adventure and narrative RPG experiences as these two highly anticipated titles launch at the end of the month. Eternal Strands, crafted by Yellow Brick Games, is set to grace the service on January 28, 2025. Meanwhile, prepare for an engaging sequel with Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, arriving on January 31, 2025.
Eternal Strands
Step into the vibrant world of Eternal Strands, a fantasy action-adventure game that immerses you in the role of Brynn, a Weaver with formidable magical powers. Many years ago, the Enclave chose to isolate itself behind an impenetrable barrier, but resourceful Weavers have now discovered a path through. As Brynn, it’s your mission to venture into this forgotten realm and reclaim your people’s ancestral home.
Your journey through the wild landscapes and the bustling capital city of Dynevron will have you relying on your magical prowess and a host of enchanted weapons. Battle against an array of fantastical foes, from humanoid constructs to massive beasts, as you unravel the enigmas of this deserted land.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector
Fans of the original tabletop-inspired RPG will find much to love in Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, a sequel that expands on the compelling universe introduced in 2022’s Citizen Sleeper. This time, you embody a sleeper—a human mind emulated within a synthetic body—fleeing the corporation that created and owns you. Forge alliances, recruit a crew, and seize a spaceship as you navigate the vast Starward Belt, striving to carve out your destiny.
Jump Over the Age, the developer behind Citizen Sleeper 2, promises a richer experience by enhancing the original RPG mechanics with intriguing new features. Among them is the ‘Push’ ability, a strategic twist that can shift the balance of a tough situation in your favor—or lead you into peril, depending on your timing and strategy.
Citizen Sleeper ranks among the premier titles on Xbox Game Pass and provides an experience that subscribers shouldn’t miss. What are your thoughts on these exciting Game Pass additions? Share your opinions in the comments!
