Tides of Annihilation Unveiled at Sony's State of Play 2025: A New Single-Player Action Game

Unveiled at Sony's State of Play 2025, Tides of Annihilation promises to deliver an exhilarating single-player, narrative-driven action adventure experience. Developed by the new studio Eclipse Glow Games, this game blends "intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting" into a thrilling journey.

Set in a modern-day London ravaged by mystical otherworldly forces, players step into the shoes of Gwendolyn, humanity's last hope. As you explore iconic London landmarks, you'll summon spectral Knights of the Round Table to aid you in combat against enemies drawn from the rich tapestry of Arthurian legend. Prepare to face colossal bosses that tower over the cityscape like skyscrapers, adding a spectacular dimension to the gameplay.

Eclipse Glow Games, based in Chengdu, China, and backed by investment from Tencent, comprises over 100 developers with extensive experience from renowned franchises such as Yakuza, For Honor, Assassin’s Creed, Persona, and Prince of Persia. "Debuting Tides of Annihilation at Sony State of Play is an incredible, humbling accomplishment for the Eclipse Glow development team," remarked Kun Fu, Lead Game Producer at Eclipse Glow Games.

"It’s also just the beginning. 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," Fu added.
