Tides of Annihilation: a beautiful action game announced

Embark on an epic adventure in Tides of Annihilation, a soulslike game inspired by the Arthurian legends. Players step into the shoes of Gwendolyn, a young woman who must team up with 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. Hordes of enemies infest the streets, forcing Gwendolyn and her ghostly allies into relentless combat. The game's signature foes are colossal, menacing knights that roam the city, demanding strategic battles requiring players to scale these behemoths for intense close-quarters combat.

While Tides of Annihilation boasts stunning visuals, its narrative presents a challenge. The recent trend of soulslike games reimagining classic stories has yielded fresh perspectives—think the relatively unknown "Journey to the West" or the surprising twist on Pinocchio in Lies of P. However, the well-trodden tale of King Arthur may lack the unique hook needed to fully captivate players, despite the game's undeniable visual appeal.
