Tides Of Annihilation is a fantasy action-adventure inspired by Arthurian legend.

Blending intense, breakneck combat, an immersive narrative, and an unforgettable setting, Tides Of Annihilation invites players to explore a broken version of modern London transformed by an otherworldly invasion.

Taking on the role of Gwendolyn, humanity’s lone survivor, players embark on a legendary quest through London’s iconic environs to unravel a mystery that will determine the fate of reality itself. Battling alongside summonable spectral knights, players will encounter hordes of enemies, unforgettable bosses, and vertical levels in the form of gigantic knights roaming the landscape.

A once-vibrant London has been torn asunder into an eerie reflection of itself—its buildings distorted, lifeforms transformed, and its history shrouded in shadow. Venture into this devastated world to uncover hidden truths and find a way to save your family, city, and the very fabric of reality itself.

Eclipse Glow Games will host its first-ever global Tides Of Annihilation hands-on event this summer.

Alongside the announcement, the studio released a technical showcase detailing direct collaborations with Unreal Engine and NVIDIA engineers to implement refined animation pipelines and a proprietary Nanite-based setup for "Giant Knight" encounters in the game and push the boundaries of visual fidelity and next-gen gaming performance

This behind-the-scenes video also highlights how the studio is addressing feedback from their 2025 reveals at Sony’s State of Play and Xbox Partner Preview, concluding with a hint at what’s to come in 2026.

The Incoming Tides: First Hands-on Event Revealed This Summer

Producer of Tides of Annihilation Kun Fu confirmed in the video that the studio will host a hands-on event this summer, offering the public their first opportunity to experience the game’s "Neo-Medieval" combat firsthand. Detailed schedules, locations, and platform requirements will be shared via official social media channels soon.

"To achieve our technical goals for Tides of Annihilation, we are taking a two-fold approach," stated Kun Fu, Producer of Tides of Annihilation. "We want to push the visual ceiling to the absolute limit of current technology for our game, and are equally committed to rigorous optimization. We want to ensure that every player, regardless of their setup, experiences a smooth and immersive journey in our re-envisioned modern Arthurian action-adventure. We’re very excited to have gamers around the world experience Tides of Annihilation for the first time in this hands-on event."

Engineering the Future: Partnership with Unreal Engine and NVIDIA

Eclipse Glow Games also unveiled a behind-the-scenes look at the technical evolution of the project. The studio is working directly with engineers at Unreal Engine and NVIDIA to ensure that the game’s ambitious visual ceiling is matched by rock-solid stability and frame rate performance across all platforms.

• Unreal Engine Integration: Wei Liu, Technical Director of Unreal Engine China, revealed that the teams have conducted a systematic analysis of CPU and GPU bottlenecks for Tides of Annihilation. This collaboration has resulted in a refined animation and gameplay logic pipeline that significantly reduces computational overhead.
• Nanite-Based Innovation: Kai Yuan, Lead Technical Artist of Tides of Annihilation, detailed the use of Unreal Engine’s proprietary Nanite-based setup specifically for the encounters with "Giant Knights." This system utilizes automated collision and shadow optimization to preserve the high-mode texture fidelity during high-speed movement without compromising runtime performance.
• NVIDIA Path Tracing & Driver Optimization: Building on previously announced support for DLSS and path tracing, NVIDIA is providing deep performance analysis and driver-level optimization. This ensures that players on a wide range of hardware configurations can enjoy a smooth, cinematic experience.
