Mihira: The Eternal Arc Brings PS2 Action Nostalgia to Steam
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Mihira: The Eternal Arc is an upcoming indie game on Steam that combines PS2-era Prince of Persia nostalgia, Soulslike combat, and time-manipulation mechanics.
For players missing the classic era of 3D platformers and time-bending adventures, a new indie project is stepping up to fill the gap. Developed by Studio Yeoun, the newly announced Mihira: The Eternal Arc channels serious PS2-era Prince of Persia energy while mixing in Soulslike combat and Metroidvania exploration. Players step into the shoes of an Indian princess who wields dual daggers and wields the power to manipulate time, shifting between past and present versions of each location to uncover hidden paths and solve environmental puzzles.
The game draws heavily from ancient Indian mythology for its characters and setting, but the mechanical DNA feels instantly familiar to anyone who grew up on early 2000s action-adventure titles. Alongside the fluid parkour and punishing, parry-focused combat, the developers have sprinkled in some classic stealth mechanics. Players can blend into crowds to hide from enemies, a feature that brings early Assassin's Creed titles to mind as you hunt down elusive mythical targets known as Timekeepers.
While the game currently has no official release window, it is heading to Steam with a heavy focus on PC players. Studio Yeoun is a small indie team with five previous projects under their belt, meaning this ambitious release represents a major step up for the studio. For anyone looking to scratch that nostalgic itch left behind by Ubisoft's stalled Sands of Time remake, this one is definitely worth throwing on the wishlist to see how the final mechanics shape up.
