Tides Of Annihilation Announced A trailer And Will Be Released In 2026
Tides of Annihilation recently released its first trailer. This new ARPG game created by a Chinese game studio is exciting. The style of the game is similar to Devil May Cry, with rich combat combos. The game will be released in 2026.
Chinese action game Tides of Annihilation was officially announced and released a trailer. This game is a knight fantasy action adventure game. The story is based on the classic King Arthur legend. In the future, it will be launched on PC and console platforms as a single-player buyout.
The release date of Tides of Annihilation is tentatively scheduled for 2026. The game is developed using UE5 and will be released on Steam and Epic on console platforms and PC platforms. The game’s combat method is somewhat similar to Devil May Cry, and the same difficulty mode selection provides a fairly simple operation for players who want to play but are not too good at action games.
Game Background
The background of the game is set in London. London was invaded by an alien world for some reason, and the protagonist Gwendolyn seems to be one of the few survivors. She discovered that she seemed to have the ability to command the legendary Knights of Round Table in King Arthur’s mythology, and embarked on a journey to save her sister, uncover the mystery of her own life, and save London and the fantasy realm of Avalon.
Eclipse Glow Games, the developer of Tides of Annihilation, chose a Western setting because Tencent had different market positioning expectations for Tides of Annihilation and Black Myth: Wukong. Black Myth: Wukong targets China, while Tides of Annihilation targets West, so it chose Arthurian legend as the background.
Gameplay
Tides of Annihilation has RPG elements such as levels and skill trees, but it does not focus too much on these like other ARPG or soul-like games. There are many kinds of armor available in the game, but they are mainly decorative and do not affect the character’s attributes. There are four weapons in the game, including fists, swords, and bows.
Tides of Annihilation has a game duration of over 30 hours and more than 30 bosses. Each boss has unique abilities and is very challenging, and players must be prepared before the battle. Players can summon the Knights of Round Table during the battle and quickly switch between the knights and the heroine Gwendolyn to perform cool combos.
Tides of Annihilation takes inspiration from games like Monster Hunter and Shadow of the Colossus, with giant bosses that Gwendolyn can climb up to explore. The level design is inspired by Metroidvania games, with levels connected to each other and shortcuts that players can unlock between levels.
Eclipse Glow Games also clarified that, like Black Myth: Wukong, they received investment from Tencent but are not owned by Tencent. If the IP is successful as they hope, they will expand the IP to other mythologies, such as Egypt, China, and Japan. But the protagonist will be changed and the concept of invasion from another world will be retained.
