Kicking off the new year, Xbox Game Pass is gearing up to expand its library with some exciting new titles. Both Citizen Sleeper 2 and Eternal Strands, highly anticipated games, are slated to join the roster come January. Mark your calendars as Yellow Brick Games’ adventurous Eternal Strands is set to make its debut on January 28, 2025. Just a few days later, on January 31, 2025, fans can dive into the much-awaited Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector.
Let’s dive into what these games bring to the table.
First up is Eternal Strands, crafted by the creative minds at Yellow Brick Games. This fantasy action-adventure game puts you in the role of Brynn, a skillful Weaver with extraordinary magical powers. Decades back, the Enclave vanished behind an unbreakable barrier, but determined weavers have breached it, paving the way for Brynn to explore and reclaim their cultural roots. As you navigate the mystical terrains and bustling streets of Dynevron, you’ll harness your magical prowess and a range of enchanted weapons to vanquish myriad fantastical foes. From animate constructs to formidable beasts, you’ll uncover the secrets of this enigmatic land.
Next, we have Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, the follow-up to the acclaimed 2022 narrative RPG, Citizen Sleeper. Stepping back into the universe, you assume the role of a sleeper, a digital replica of human consciousness within an artificial vessel. Escaping the clutches of the corporation that created and owns you is no small feat. You’ll need to assemble a loyal crew and allies throughout the Starward Belt while securing a ship that promises freedom and a new beginning.
Jump Over the Age, the developers behind this sequel, have enhanced the original’s tabletop RPG elements by introducing a fresh ‘Push’ ability unique to each class. It’s designed to give you an edge on daunting missions—or, if misused, lead you down a perilous path.
Citizen Sleeper has earned its stripes as one of the premier games on Xbox Game Pass, and for those keen on a compelling experience, it’s absolutely worth checking out. But what about you? Are these upcoming titles stirring up some excitement? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
