The debut trailer showcased a game that promises to blend “intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting.”

Tides of Annihilation is set in a modern-day London devastated by mystical, otherworldly forces. Players step into the shoes of Gwendolyn, navigating through London’s iconic landmarks. The game allows you to summon spectral Knights of the Round Table in combat and engage with enemies inspired by the Arthurian mythos. One of the standout features is the opportunity to battle gigantic bosses that tower like skyscrapers.
