Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Tides of Annihilation, a game drawing inspiration from Arthurian legend, casts players as Gwendolyn, a young woman battling alongside spectral knights to rescue her family and mend a fractured world.

The game unfolds in a ravaged, modern-day London, overrun by a mysterious otherworldly invasion. Players will confront hordes of enemies alongside their ghostly allies, the most formidable of which are colossal, roaming knights requiring strategic combat—players must scale these behemoths for intense close-quarters battles.

While boasting impressive visuals, the game's narrative currently lacks a compelling hook. Recent soulslike titles have successfully reimagined classic stories, such as the relatively unknown "Journey to the West" and the surprisingly dark take on Pinocchio in Lies of P. However, the Arthurian legend has been extensively explored, leaving Tides of Annihilation, despite its beauty, without a unique selling point.
