As the new year kicks off, Xbox Game Pass is set to expand its library with some exciting additions. Arriving in January 2025, we have Citizen Sleeper 2 and Eternal Strands enhancing the lineup for eager subscribers. Yellow Brick Games brings us Eternal Strands on January 28, while fans of the successful Citizen Sleeper series can look forward to its sequel, Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, landing on January 31.
Let’s delve into the world of Eternal Strands. Imagine yourself as Brynn, a Weaver imbued with magical prowess. Decades have passed since the Enclave sealed itself away, shrouded by an impenetrable barrier. However, a determined group of weavers has broken through, and now Brynn shoulders the responsibility of exploring this enigmatic world to restore her people’s homeland. As you navigate the wild terrains and the buzzing city of Dynevron, you’ll wield an array of magical weapons to battle diverse fantastical foes—from humanoid constructs to monstrous beasts—all while uncovering the secrets of this forgotten realm.
Switching gears to Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, we find ourselves in a gripping narrative RPG that is a worthy successor to the 2022 hit, Citizen Sleeper. Here, you embody a sleeper, a synthetic construct harboring a digital mind, frantically escaping the clutches of the corporation that claims ownership over you. In this vast universe, you’ll need to forge alliances across the Starward Belt, assemble a trustworthy crew, and seize a ship to carve out your future. Developers at Jump Over the Age have enriched the gameplay with new mechanics, including a ‘Push’ ability that can either rescue you from precarious situations or plunge you into chaos, depending on your choices.
Citizen Sleeper has already established itself as a standout title on Xbox Game Pass, making its sequel a highly anticipated release. With these two intriguing titles on the horizon, Xbox Game Pass subscribers have plenty to look forward to. Are you excited about these additions? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
