Arguably, the most well-received announcement from the recent State of Play was the action-adventure title Tides of Annihilation.
The upcoming PlayStation 5 game developed by Eclipse Glow Studio is set in a mystical London and is inspired by Arthurian legends. And, if that doesn’t excite you, the latest information dump from the game developers will certainly pique your interest in the magical title.
Why it matters: PlayStation needs more acclaimed single-player titles, and Tides of Annihilation seems to be steering it in the right direction.
According to a developer Q&A, Tides of Annihilation is going to be over 30 hours long and will feature more than 30 bosses in the storyline. In addition, the combat will be akin to Devil May Cry, allowing players to use their own creativity to deal with bosses with many weapons at their disposal.
The developers also revealed that players can use up to four weapons in Tides of Annihilation, ranging from fists to swords. The boss fights will be challenging especially if you choose to play on the hardest difficulty.
The action-adventure title also features some light RPG elements including but not limited to a skill tree that players can level up. Moreover, Tides of Annihilation will let you collect armor and cosmetic outfits to brighten up the experience.
With Eclipse Glow targeting the Western audience, the game will be based on Arthurian legends and the Knights of the Round Table. But we’ll have to wait a little bit to see the single-player co-op adventure title in action, as the expected release is in 2026.
Tides of Annihilation showcased new gameplay recently that gave players a look at the Devil May Cry-inspired combat. Do you think the game will live up to its expectations?
