Last night during PlayStation’s State of Play showcase for February 2025, the company announced a new, promising action game titled Tides of Annihilation. Coming from Chinese developer Eclipse Glow Games, it seems to be a single-player action/hack and slash game with some gorgeous visuals and fast-paced combat. No release date has been pinned on the game, though it will launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Tides of Annihilation is described as blending “intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting.” Fans have drawn comparisons to games like Nier: Automata, Stellar Blade, Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. Eclipse Glow Games consists of over 100 developers who have prior experience working on games like Yakuza, For Honor, Assassin’s Creed, Persona and Prince of Persia.
The main protagonist will be voiced by Jennifer English, best known for voicing Shadowheart in Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as the protagonist of the upcoming Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Kun Fu, Lead Game Producer at Eclipse Glow Games, stated:
“Debuting Tides of Annihilation at Sony State of Play is an incredible, humbling accomplishment for the Eclipse Glow development team. It’s also just the beginning. We’ve created a world that reimagines Arthurian Legend where themes of courage, loyalty, and heroism intertwine with an epic story set in a strange-yet-familiar setting that will test the mettle of true gamers and push the genre forward.”
The official blurb for Tides of Annihilation reads:
“Tides of Annihilation is a single-player, narrative-driven title set in a twisted version of modern London cataclysmically altered by an otherworldly invasion. Taking on the role of Gwendolyn, humanity’s lone survivor, players embark on a legendary quest through London’s iconic environs to unravel a mystery that will determine the fate of reality itself. Battling alongside summonable spectral knights, players will encounter hordes of enemies, unforgettable bosses, and vertical levels in the form of gigantic knights roaming the landscape.”
Tides of Annihilation doesn’t have a release date yet but it’s coming to consoles and PC. Watch the reveal trailer below.
