Tides of Annihilation Arthurian Knights Concept is Tencent's Appeal to Westerners

Eclipse Glow Games, in a recent interview with Wccftech, revealed the inspiration behind Tides of Annihilation's Arthurian setting and London backdrop. The game's Western focus, they explained, stems directly from Tencent's strategic direction. While Tencent's other investment, Black Myth: Wukong, targeted the Chinese market, Tides of Annihilation was explicitly designed for a Western audience, leading to the adoption of Arthurian legends. The core concept, centered around knights, evolved into the iconic King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.

Tides of Annihilation's combat system draws clear inspiration from Devil May Cry, offering a blend of accessibility and depth. Players can choose from four weapons and over ten Knights as allies, customizing their combat style. Gwendolyn's ability to command the Knights of the Round Table adds a unique strategic layer to the gameplay. The game boasts over 30 bosses, each with unique challenges, promising intense and rewarding battles.

Potential for an Anthology

Eclipse Glow Games hinted at the possibility of expanding the franchise into an anthology, featuring diverse settings, mythologies, and protagonists. The core concept of the Outworld invasion would remain a unifying element across future titles. The success of Tides of Annihilation will be crucial in determining the future of this ambitious project.

Currently in beta, Tides of Annihilation is slated for a 2026 release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Players will follow Gwendolyn's journey as she confronts destiny and battles to save London and the intertwined realms of reality and Avalon.
