During Sony’s State of Play 2025, a thrilling new game was unveiled: *Tides of Annihilation*. This single-player, narrative-driven action adventure game, developed by the innovative Eclipse Glow Games, promises a unique blend of "intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting." Set in a modern-day London that's been ravaged by mystical otherworldly forces, players will step into the shoes of Gwendolyn. As Gwendolyn, you'll explore London's iconic landmarks, summoning spectral Knights of the Round Table to aid in combat against enemies inspired by Arthurian mythos. The game also features epic battles against gigantic bosses that tower like skyscrapers over the cityscape.

Eclipse Glow Games, a new studio based in Chengdu, China, is backed by the investment giant Tencent. The studio boasts a team of over 100 developers with rich experience from notable franchises such as Yakuza, For Honor, Assassin’s Creed, Persona, and Prince of Persia. "Debuting Tides of Annihilation at Sony State of Play is an incredible, humbling accomplishment for the Eclipse Glow development team," stated Kun Fu, Lead Game Producer at Eclipse Glow Games. He further emphasized, "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."
