Experience Arthurian Legends in a New PS5 Action-Adventure Game – PlayStation.Blog

Hello to all the PlayStation enthusiasts out there!

We’re absolutely delighted here at Eclipse Glow Studio to pull back the curtain on our latest creation, Tides of Annihilation. This PS5 action-adventure game throws you right into a shattered, enchanted version of London, and we can’t wait for you to explore it.

The seed for Tides of Annihilation sprouted from a simple yet exciting idea: to recreate the adrenaline rush of fighting side by side with trusted companions, all within a single-player experience. With this vision, we developed an innovative combat system that draws inspiration from values like bravery, loyalty, and honor.

In Tides of Annihilation, you’ll find an intuitive mix of cooperation wrapped in a single-player format. You step into the shoes of Gwendolyn, a character who wields a mystical gray fog that can conjure two spectral knights to fight alongside her. Each of these knights plays a unique role in combat. Whether you’re launching full-on attacks, defending against enemies, or executing powerful combos, you’ll need to carefully decide which knights to call upon, based on how you like to play and the particular challenges you encounter.

The dynamic interaction between Gwendolyn and her knights makes for a fast-paced and deeply engaging combat experience. Our development team, which includes veterans from some of the top game studios, fell in love with this system during our internal play sessions.

Welcome to our reimagined, sprawling battleground in London, where ancient echoes blend with modern ruins. Visualize the city as a massive tree—its branches being iconic districts and landmarks—twisted and morphed by the invading otherworldly forces.

You’ll travel through two unique versions of this world:

Modern London: Iconic sites remain battered by the supernatural, offering a haunting shadow of their former glory.

Medieval Fantasy Realm: Strong Arthurian influences bring to life a medieval world filled with ancient magic and legendary creatures.

As you journey through these connected realms, you’ll hunt for clues and legendary Grail Shards, slowly piecing together the mystery behind the invasion.

Among the game’s most striking features are the colossal knights that roam Greater London. These massive figures aren’t just for spectacle—they offer engaging challenges cleverly tied into the gameplay. You’ll ascend their towering forms, explore their terrains, and engage in epic battles that will truly test your mettle.

These encounters are especially thrilling in our Enhanced Mode, crafted exclusively for PS5 Pro users. Utilizing the Pro’s advanced GPU power and PSSR technology, the game delivers superior resolution, ray tracing, enhanced image fidelity, and a buttery-smooth 60fps gameplay.

But this is just the beginning of the adventure that Tides of Annihilation promises. We’re buzzing to share more about the game in the coming months, so stay tuned for updates!
