Tides of Annihilation Hands-On Preview Shows Summoning Combat and London Ruins
The preview confirms the scale and combat direction of Eclipse Glow Games' AAA action-adventure, with a summoning system the outlet compares to JoJo and Fate.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
GAME Watch played a middle-game stage of Tides of Annihilation at a preview event in Chengdu, China. The single-player action-adventure is set in a ruined London merged with Arthurian legend. Combat centers on summoning knights, and the trial version included exploration and puzzles in a museum-like stage.
The preview event took place at Eastern Suburb Memory, a creative park in Chengdu, where a full set was built for the playable demo. The hands-on session covered a stage set in a massive museum resembling the British Museum, mixing exploration, puzzles, and combat.
Combat relies on summoning knights, and the outlet describes the system as exhilarating and influenced by JoJo and Fate. The trial also introduced supporting characters: Ninian, who can transform; Mercury, a sentient gauntlet that acts as a shopkeeper; and Wusheng, modeled after Guan Yu, who guides Gwendolyn.
Tides of Annihilation is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The release date and price are undecided, with Japanese subtitles planned.
