Following a bit of a tease last week, Yellow Brick Games — the studio founded by former Dragon Age creative director Mike Laidlaw — has properly revealed its new third-person action adventure, Eternal Strands, which is coming to PC and consoles next year.
Dragon Age Fan Makes Cassandra in Dragon's Dogma 2

Dragon's Dogma 2 is fast approaching its release date, but that hasn't stopped a Dragon Age fan from recreating Cassandra Pentaghast using the game's powerful character creation tools. Though its predecessor was also famous for having a good character creation system, Dragon's Dogma 2 appears to have taken the concept to another level entirely. The accuracy and level of fidelity that fans have been able to recreate popular characters from other IPs has been nothing short of astounding, which has arguably been a major contributor to Capcom's marketing campaign for Dragon's Dogma 2.
Dragon's Dogma 2 released its character creator a few weeks ahead of launch, allowing fans and potential players to preview Capcom's vision for the sequel, and thus make a decision if pre-ordering Dragon's Dogma 2 is worth it. Though it does not have any combat gameplay on its own, it has given players an opportunity to create their Arisen and Main Pawn before the full release of Dragon's Dogma 2.
For flamingoturmeric, this opportunity was used to recreate Cassandra from Dragon Age: Inquisition, sharing the results with the rest of the Dragon Age community on Reddit. Cassandra has been a fan-favorite since her debut in the second Dragon Age title, and her recreation in Dragon's Dogma certainly evokes her fierceness and charm. Unfortunately, the Dragon Age franchise is experiencing a bit of a drought, as fans have patiently waited years for an in-depth dive into Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. Though BioWare is expected to finally showcase the sequel in 2024, playing Dragon's Dogma 2 could be a decent way to make the wait more tolerable.
Players who want to check out Capcom's upcoming release can download the Dragon's Dogma 2 Character Creator & Storage on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox for free. Doing so, they will be able to create and store up to five unique Arisen characters and Main Pawns. Whereas the Arisen is the game's protagonist, it's important to note that the combat relies on teamwork between the player and their Pawns. The Main Pawn in Dragon's Dogma 2 can be extensively customized by the player, both in terms of appearance, class, and even behavior. However, the other two Pawns are instead hired from a Pawn Network by entering into a covenant with other players.
Players can use the character creation tools to make original looks for their Arisen and Main Pawn, or they can use them to recreate pop culture characters such as Link and Zelda in Dragon's Dogma 2. The character creator only allows them to assign the four basic Vocations to both the Arisen and the Main Pawn, as advanced Vocations will be unlocked within the game itself. If players find the rest of Dragon's Dogma 2's gameplay comparable in ambition to its character
