Tides of Annihilation

Tides of Annihilation is a cinematic action-adventure game developed by the Shanghai-based studio Eclipse Glow Games. Set in a flooded, crumbling rendition of modern London besieged by a tide of mythological creatures, it casts the player as Gwendolyn, a young woman who can summon a team of spectral knights inspired by the legends of Arthurian Britain to fight alongside her. The game weaves a dark fantasy retelling that fuses Arthurian mythology with a ruined urban London, where the city's landmarks serve as battlegrounds and its residents and rulers have been consumed by the encroaching supernatural Cataclysm. Combat blends fast-paced hack-and-slash swordplay with a squad-command layer, letting players switch between Gwendolyn's own attacks and the uniquely equipped knights she summons. It was released in October 2025 for Windows and consoles, pursuing a fast, fluid action-RPG loop of combos, parries, and mythic boss battles.

• Knight Summon System: the heart of Tides of Annihilation. Gwendolyn calls spectral Arthurian knights into battle, each a distinct combat archetype with its own signature weapon, and can command them for combos, crowd control, and against enemies her own moveset cannot reach. Positioning and timing every summon is central to surviving the mythic horde.
• Flooded-London Setting: a ruined, half-submerged modern London reconceived as a dark-fantasy battlefield, where iconic landmarks and districts are transformed into combat arenas and labyrinthine boss spaces overrun by creatures of Celtic and Arthurian myth.
• Hack-and-Slash Combat: fast, combo-driven swordplay built around light and heavy attack chains, dodges, parries, and enemy stagger, blended with the squad-command layer so Gwendolyn and her knights fight as one relentless formation.
• Cinematic Action Design: the game frames its fights as spectacle set-pieces against giant mythological bosses, mixing tight one-on-one duels with large-scale encounters across the flooded city.
• Arthurian Mythology Reimagined: the story reworks the legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table into the franchise's dark-fantasy London, tying the summons, bosses, and Gwendolyn's own quest to the lore of the mythological tide that has overwhelmed the city.
