Eastshade is a new first person open world exploration game currently in development at Eastshade Studios for the PC. Before you get all up in arms about yet another “exploration” game, Eastshade is a little different.

In the game you’ll be living the life of a painter and explore the world of Eastshade. The press release goes into further detail saying, “Capture the world on canvas using your artist’s easel. Talk to the inhabitants to learn about their lives. Make friends and help those in need. Discover mysteries and uncover secrets about the land. Surmount natural impasses to reach forgotten places. Experience how your actions impact the world around you.”

You can see the first trailer for the game at the bottom of this article along with some screenshots. To say the world is beautiful would be an understatement.

Currently the game is planned for release on the PC, with consoles to follow shortly after. We’ve reached out to the developers to see if we can line up an interview with them for next month to learn more about the development team and the game itself.
