GamingBolt recently unpacked the latest State of Play, a mixed bag of goodies and disappointments. While big exclusives like Ghost of Yote and Death Stranding 2 were notably absent, the event did showcase some intriguing third-party titles. One such gem is Tides of Annihilation by Eclipse Glow Games, a character-driven action game where London is under siege by enigmatic forces. In this adrenaline-pumping adventure, players take on the role of Gwendolin, voiced by the talented Jennifer English, wielding a sword and summoning knights for epic combos.
The game promises over 30 hours of gameplay, 30 unique bosses, and challenging boss fights that will test your mettle. Powered by Unreal Engine 5, the visuals in Tides of Annihilation are nothing short of awe-inspiring, offering a feast for the eyes as you navigate through this chaotic world. With a release date set for 2026, the game aims to captivate a Western audience while drawing inspiration from Arthurian legends. The beta phase in 2024 will provide a taste of what's to come, with room for potential improvements in visuals and performance.
Sony's recent focus on third-party offerings has raised eyebrows, especially with the absence of major exclusives in the State of Play event. However, titles like Tides of Annihilation and Lost Solstice, which finally received a release date, show promise in filling the gap. Fans are eagerly anticipating the evolution of Tides of Annihilation and whether it can match the success of the acclaimed Black Myth Wukong. The gaming community is buzzing with excitement, and only time will tell if these upcoming titles will deliver on the hype.
