Unveiling Tides of Annihilation: a new PS5 action-adventure inspired by Arthurian legends

Greetings, PlayStation fans!

Here at Eclipse Glow Studio, we’re thrilled to finally introduce Tides of Annihilation, our PS5 action-adventure game that thrusts you into a shattered, mystical London.

Tides of Annihilation was inspired by a straightforward idea: to capture the thrill of fighting alongside trusted allies in a single-player gaming experience. To that end, we’ve created an innovative combat system inspired by the ideals of courage, loyalty, and honor.

Tides of Annihilation features intuitive co-op combat in a single-player experience

Players will take on the role of Gwendolyn, who wields the power of a mysterious gray fog that can manifest two spectral knights at her side. Each knight has a distinct combat role. Whether it’s charging into battle, defending against attacks, or unleashing devastating combos, players will need to strategically choose which knights to summon based on their preferred gameplay style and the challenges they face.  

The interplay between Gwendolyn and the knights creates a dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply engaging combat experience. It’s a system that our team (veterans from top game studios) fell in love with during internal playtests.

A broken London beckons

Our game world reimagines London as a sprawling battleground where modern ruins coexist with echoes of a medieval past. Imagine the city as a giant tree, its branches representing iconic districts and landmarks—each twisted and transformed by the otherworldly invaders.  

You’ll traverse two distinct versions of this in-between world:

• Modern London: Familiar landmarks stand scarred by the supernatural invasion, offering a haunting glimpse of what once was.  
• Medieval Fantasy Realm: Arthurian influences reign supreme, creating a medieval world of ancient magic and mythical creatures.  

Players will explore these interconnected realms, uncovering clues, searching for the legendary Grail Shards, as they unravel the mystery behind the invasion. 

Colossal knights roam the land 

One of the most awe-inspiring and exciting features of the game are the colossal knights roaming Greater London. More than a spectacular visual backdrop, these are interactive challenges woven into the gameplay. You’ll climb their immense forms, explore their surfaces, and engage in epic battles that will test your skills and courage. 

These unique encounters are especially momentous in our Enhanced Mode, which is being developed exclusively for PS5 Pro players. With the Pro’s additional GPU power and PSSR technology, the game achieves higher resolution, ray tracing, improved image fidelity, and smoother 60fps gameplay.

The quest is just beginning … 

This is just a taste of what awaits you in Tides of Annihilation. We’re eager to share more in the coming months, so please stay tuned for further updates!
