Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Inspired by the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, Tides of Annihilation casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman fighting alongside spectral knights to save her family and mend a shattered world. The game unfolds in a ravaged, modern-day London, overrun by a mysterious otherworldly invasion. Hordes of enemies swarm the streets, forcing Gwendolyn and her ghostly allies into desperate battles. A key challenge? Colossal, otherworldly knights roaming London, demanding players scale their immense forms for intense, close-quarters combat.

While visually stunning, the game's narrative struggles to stand out. Recent soulslike games have successfully reimagined classic stories—Journey to the West offered a fresh perspective to Western audiences, and Lies of P's twist on Pinocchio was unexpected. However, Tides of Annihilation's Arthurian setting feels somewhat overused, lacking the unique hook needed to truly captivate. Despite its visual appeal, the familiar storyline may hinder its overall impact.
