During Sony's State of Play 2025, a stunning debut trailer introduced *Tides of Annihilation*, a single-player, narrative-driven action-adventure game crafted by Eclipse Glow Games. This title promises a thrilling blend of "intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting," set against the backdrop of a modern-day London devastated by mystical forces from another world.
In *Tides of Annihilation*, players assume the role of Gwendolyn, navigating through London's iconic landmarks while summoning spectral Knights of the Round Table to aid in combat against enemies inspired by the Arthurian mythos. The game also features epic battles against colossal bosses that tower over the city like skyscrapers.
Eclipse Glow Games, a new studio located in Chengdu, China, and backed by investment from Tencent, comprises over 100 developers with rich experience from notable franchises such as Yakuza, For Honor, Assassin’s Creed, Persona, and Prince of Persia. Kun Fu, the Lead Game Producer at Eclipse Glow Games, expressed immense pride in debuting at Sony’s State of Play, calling it a humbling accomplishment for the team.
“It’s also just the beginning,” Fu added. “We’ve created a world that reimagines Arthurian Legend where themes of courage, loyalty, and heroism intertwine with an epic story set in a strange-yet-familiar setting that will test the mettle of true gamers and push the genre forward.”
