Hi everyone!
We've got something exciting to share with you today... Eastward has been featured on the IGN with an exclusive 25 minute sneak preview of a previously unseen gameplay segment - Quake Valley!
You’ll encounter this area roughly 10 hours into the game, taking place shortly after John and Sam arrive into the bustling metropolis of New Dam City. After making friends with a lively engineer named Alva, the duo are quickly taken under her wing and sent off on new adventures as her assistants (we won't spoil the details). This sends our courageous pair into the dangerous territory of Quake Valley, a trash heap on the outskirts of the city, infested with dangerous monsters but teeming with hidden treasures!
Quake Valley is an excellent showcase of the main combat mechanics you'll experience playing as John and Sam, switching control of them to use their unique abilities and separating them to solve environmental puzzles. You can learn more about Eastward's combat in our previous Dev Blog! Although the gameplay video finishes after an exhilarating cutscene, don’t worry there’s still more of Quake Valley to discover for yourself including taking on the dungeon’s lethal mini boss…
Thanks for checking out this first look at Eastward’s Quake Valley, if you enjoyed it make sure to wishlist Eastward if you haven't already to be notified as soon as the game is out!
