Eternal Tombs is a new MMORPG on Steam that aims to impress with a unique concept. Now the developers reveal in a new trailer for the first time how you will use magic in combat.
What is Eternal Tombs actually?
- The developers at Triune Studios want to create an old school sandbox MMORPG that focuses on PvE
- Eternal Tombs aims to impress with a unique concept: real “Game Masters”, the so-called Tomb Masters, observe player behavior and can constantly reprogram the game
- Random events and an individual story are promised while you explore the open world with many other players
- Eternal Tombs is supposed to offer some features that make gameplay interesting: open your own shop, unlock new areas, fight through various dungeons, or lead entire war maneuvers
In a new trailer, you can now see how you use magical attacks in this world and get a glimpse of various areas of the game:
What does the trailer show? The trailer begins with some images that give you an impression of various areas you can expect in Eternal Tombs. You will see a desert city with large ruins or dark cellars and dungeon vaults.
These impressions are accompanied by a narrator who gives his son some important tips for dealing with magic. He warns against drawing magic from within oneself, but always using magical items and drawing magic from them.
The description on Steam mentions that drawing magic from one’s inner self is considered evil in Eternal Tombs and is therefore not practiced. Players are definitely dependent on magical items if they want to cast spells.
For a game with Game Masters in the background, this could create a certain twist if they could constantly reprogram the magical items. Whether this will actually be the case can only be said after the release.

After that, you get a short glimpse of a few different magical attacks. Fire attacks are shown, but also ice and lightning attacks.
You won’t get much information from the short scenes. However, this is only a teaser trailer, and since Eternal Tombs is still in the middle of development, we will likely have to wait a little longer for more information.
Nevertheless, the trailer shows that there are different types of magic and if you look closely, it also seems that magical attacks require a certain preparation time.
What are the reactions? Reactions to the trailer (via YouTube) are quite positive and most players who are watching Eternal Tombs seem to be very excited about the release:
- ttonygreybeard writes: “I can’t wait to get in and play… My armor is polished, my sword hand is itching to chop some meat and spill blood”
- CombatMedicOps123 writes: “I hope this game really comes out. All the big game companies are producing nothing but beautiful garbage”
- UpgradeLemonade writes: “I really love the art style of the game, every new video makes me even more excited”
Also, user tienee4927, who usually views other trailers a bit more critically, comments on this teaser: “Normally I comment on these videos to point out problems and errors… I’m back here……… Not a thing, sound was great, looked good and voice-over was on point and sounded effective, as always I’m so looking forward to it!”
What do you think of the short trailer? What do you expect from the concept of the Game Masters? Feel free to discuss in the comments.
