Eclipse Glow Games, a new studio from Chengdu, China, first revealed its debut game, Tides of Annihilation at a State of Play event in February. The title, which the studio calls a “fantasy action-adventure game,” with a time-twisting single-player storyline that spans both modern London and a medieval fantasy realm. According to the game’s producer, the studio took on a uniquely British fable in order to deliver on a core gameplay experience: A single-player action game with team combat.
Tides of Annihilation is patterned after Arthurian legend, with the players taking on the role of Gwendolyn, seeking to save her family from both a London ravaged by an unknown apocalypse, and the corrupted realm of Avalon.
