New Gameplay Trailer For Arthurian Action Game Tides Of Annihilation Shows Off A Thrilling Boss Battle

Tides of Annihilation raised a lot of eyebrows when it debuted during a PlayStation State of Play in February, and the promising dark fantasy action game got another showing today, this time on the Xbox side during its Partner Preview.

This invasion has fractured the world into distorted mirror realities, and it’s up to protagonist Gwendolyn to travel between two worlds, London and the mythical Avalon, to save her family, the city, and existence itself. Today’s trailer shows off an impressively flashy boss battle against Tyronoe, one of the eight sisters of Morgan le Fay. The video, which developer...

Check out the trailer from today's Xbox Partner Preview below. Reanimal follows a brother and sister making their way through Hell to rescue their missing friends. In dimly lit sewers, alleyways, and vaguely industrial spaces, dark creatures chase the protagonists from one location to the next. While what we've seen of the co-op gameplay looks fine so far, the real draw for this studio is the dark, twisted atmosphere and art style, and today's...
