China brings us a reinvention of Arthurian myths in a game that feels very Devil May Cry

Eclipse Glow Games has presented its new title, Tides of Annihilation, during Sony’s State of Play event. This game is set in a distorted version of London, where players will take on the role of Gwendolyn, the sole survivor of an invasion by supernatural forces. In this narrative, Gwendolyn is not alone; she has the power to summon and command the spirits of the Knights of the Round Table, which adds a strategic and unique dimension to the combat.

A game that seems to have a strong emphasis on action

The plot centers on Gwendolyn’s quest to uncover the truth behind her origin and her powers, as she faces more than 30 bosses inspired by Arthurian legend, as well as the demigods of Avalon. The game’s aesthetics and combat system are reminiscent of Devil May Cry, a title that has set a precedent in the genre. Tides of Annihilation promises a narrative-driven approach, intertwining themes of bravery, loyalty, and heroism, which could appeal to both role-playing game enthusiasts and fans of Arthurian lore.

According to the lead producer, Kun Fu, the game’s debut at the State of Play is a significant achievement for the development team, and emphasizes that this is just the beginning of an experience that seeks to redefine the Arthurian legend in a modern and desolate setting. Players will explore iconic landmarks of a broken London, adding an intriguing atmosphere to the gameplay.

A release date has not yet been announced, but those interested can find more information on Steam. With a dual combat system and promises of challenges that will test players’ skills, Tides of Annihilation has the potential to expand the genre and capture the attention of video game enthusiasts.
