Tides of Annihilation: A Deep Dive into Eclipse Glow Games’ Arthurian Action-Adventure

Fantasy action game enthusiasts have a modern title to anticipate: Tides of Annihilation, developed and published by Chinese studio Eclipse Glow Games. This upcoming game promises an epic adventure steeped in Arthurian legend, set within a fractured, modern London. Scheduled for release in 2026, Tides of Annihilation is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S.

Story and Setting

Players will assume the role of Gwendolyn, the sole survivor of an otherworldly invasion that has devastated London and fractured the boundaries between worlds, including the mythical Avalon. Her quest is multifaceted: to save her sister, restore the world, and exact revenge on the demi-gods of Avalon. The game’s narrative draws heavily from Arthurian lore, reimagined within a contemporary and post-apocalyptic setting.

Gameplay Mechanics

Tides of Annihilation is an action-adventure game played in single-player mode. Gwendolyn’s combat abilities are central to the gameplay, allowing her to summon and command spectral forms of the Knights of the Round Table. Players can configure and customize two sets of four knights at a time, utilizing each knight’s unique attacks and abilities.

The game allows for dynamic switching between knights during battle and within combos, offering a tactical depth to combat. As showcased in the 2025 Xbox Partner Preview trailer, players can even control both Gwendolyn and a knight, such as Sir Lamorak (who wields a spear), simultaneously within a “Mirror Space Folded Realm.” Tides of Annihilation similarly incorporates light role-playing elements, including levels and skill trees, alongside character customization options for weapons, equipment, and accessories.

Development and Platforms

Tides of Annihilation is being developed using Unreal Engine 5. The game was first revealed at Sony’s State of Play 2025 event. Eclipse Glow Games is handling both the development and publishing duties, with Kun Fu serving as the producer and Caisheng Bo composing the game’s music.

The game is slated for release on:

• PlayStation 5
• Windows
• Xbox Series X/S

Even as a specific release date beyond 2026 has not yet been announced, Eclipse Glow Games has promised to share more details as the launch approaches. Pricing information remains undisclosed.

Availability

Tides of Annihilation will be available for purchase on Steam [Steam Store Page], as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
