Not everything is so straightforward, though. The island of Eastshade additionally harbors mysteries and a vast number of secrets. Who knows? Maybe these secrets and mysteries aren’t even sinister. The lands seem peaceful enough. But to find out for sure, players will have to venture into the open-world for themselves.
