Eclipse Glow Games has presented its new title, Tides of Annihilation, during Sony’s State of Play event. This game is set in a distorted version of London, where players will take on the role of Gwendolyn, the sole survivor of an invasion by supernatural forces. In this narrative, Gwendolyn is not alone; she has the power to summon and command the spirits of the Knights of the Round Table, which adds a strategic and unique dimension to the combat.
A game that seems to have a strong emphasis on action
The plot centers on Gwendolyn’s quest to uncover the truth behind her origin and her powers, as she faces more than 30 bosses inspired by Arthurian legend, as well as the demigods of Avalon. The game’s aesthetics and combat system are reminiscent of Devil May Cry, a title that has set a precedent in the genre. Tides of Annihilation promises a narrative-driven approach, intertwining themes of bravery, loyalty, and heroism, which could appeal to both role-playing game enthusiasts and fans of Arthurian lore.
According to the lead producer, Kun Fu, the game’s debut at the State of Play is a significant achievement for the development team, and emphasizes that this is just the beginning of an experience that seeks to redefine the Arthurian legend in a modern and desolate setting. Players will explore iconic landmarks of a broken London, adding an intriguing atmosphere to the gameplay.
A release date has not yet been announced, but those interested can find more information on Steam. With a dual combat system and promises of challenges that will test players’ skills, Tides of Annihilation has the potential to expand the genre and capture the attention of video game enthusiasts.

Kratos, the iconic protagonist of the God of War series, may be ready to return to Greece in his next adventure, according to recent reports. After closing the Norse saga in God of War Ragnarök, fans are wondering what the future holds for the franchise, which is currently surrounded by uncertainty and rumors, with no official announcements from Santa Monica Studio.
Kratos returning to the place that saw him born for a great prequel
Initially, it was speculated that the next title could take Kratos to Egypt, igniting excitement among fans. However, new information suggests that, instead, the Spartan warrior could explore his complicated relationship with Zeus in a Greek setting. This possibility has been strengthened by the recent downloadable content Valhalla, which features flashbacks of Kratos’s life in Greece, which many interpret as a hint of his possible return to the place where his odyssey began.
The renowned insider Tom Henderson has mentioned that the upcoming game could be some sort of prequel that would delve into the relationship between a young Kratos and his father Zeus. Although he warns that the details are still uncertain and that this assertion should not be “taken as a fact,” the idea of a return to Greek myths sparks great interest among fans.
With a possible State of Play scheduled for next week, expectations are rising and many are hoping that Santa Monica Studio will reveal information about a new installment of God of War. There is also speculation that they might be working on a remaster of the original God of War trilogy, while simultaneously developing a new saga. The coming days could be crucial to clarify the future of this acclaimed franchise.
After a rather good State of Play, we once again have faith that Sony can do things right. Little by little, but there is hope. With a great pace, many games, perhaps more remasters than we would like, although most were unexpected and exciting, it was an interesting presentation that shows that Sony still has a good grasp on its players. As demonstrated by the announcement of Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. Developed by Sucker Punch, the studio behind the original game, it seems that Ghost of Yotei will share the same spirit, but it will be a game that does not […]
After a pretty good State of Play, we once again have faith that Sony can do things right. Slowly but surely, there is hope. With a great pace, many games—perhaps more remasters than we would like, although most of them were unexpected and exciting—Sony still has a good grasp on its players. This was demonstrated by the announcement of Ghost of Yotei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima.
Developed by Sucker Punch, the studio behind the original game, it seems that Ghost of Yotei will share the same spirit, but it will be a game that does not share anything narratively with the previous installment. Set in 1603, almost 350 years after the original game, the protagonist is a woman named Atsu accompanied by a wolf, and who always carries a shamisen on her back. She is traveling through the northern lands of Hokkaido, on the other side of Japan.
We say they share a spirit because from what we’ve seen in the trailer, the gameplay foundation is very similar. The katana duels, horseback travels, and breathtaking views are still there, but the tone is subtly different. With Spanish guitar and a twilight tone, it has a more western, laid-back feel, reminiscent of Italian spaghetti westerns like those of the master Sergio Leone.
On the PlayStation Blog, Andrew Goldfarb, communication manager at Sucker Punch, wanted to emphasize precisely this. The studio wanted to shift the focus from Jin Sakai and the island of Tsushima to the idea of the ghost, and to see how that mask would relate to another protagonist, another story, and another region. Hence, we should expect the game to also involve changes in gameplay, but still expect to be a wandering warrior, exploring the land at our own pace, and observing beautiful landscapes in the process.
Additionally, they have confirmed that this will be the first game by Sucker Punch made from the ground up for PlayStation 5. Although Ghost of Tsushima had a version for the console and for PC, it was initially developed with PlayStation 4 in mind. Therefore, it is expected to be one of the first games to truly take advantage of the potential of Sony’s console, which has been on the market for four years now. It will be released in 2025 on a yet-to-be-determined date.

With nine disastrous months, Sony could not afford to face the rest of the year as it has done so far. This led us to approach the State of Play with certain expectations. They needed to announce things for the rest of the year and also for 2025, demonstrating that they still have strength. That they can compete with a Microsoft that has big promises for next year and a Nintendo that promises a new console. With everything that entails. And Sony has delivered more than we expected. Although perhaps not enough. With around forty minutes of announcements, it has been a […]
With nine disastrous months, Sony could not afford to face the rest of the year as it has so far. This led us to approach the State of Play with certain expectations. They needed to announce things for the rest of the year and also for 2025, demonstrating that they still have strength. That they can compete with a Microsoft making big promises for next year and a Nintendo promising a new console. With everything that entails. And Sony has delivered more than we expected. Although perhaps not enough.

With around forty minutes of announcements, it has been a swift presentation filled with announcements. With something for everyone, without falling into the trap of showing excessively long trailers or sections that monopolize attention for too long, they have managed to keep the audience engaged at all times. Supported by both their usual partners and some unexpected names, as well as being carried by a handful of big names, taking the opportunity to shine.
Perhaps the most surprising thing came from what usually surprises the least. The remakes. Announcing for spring Lunar Remastered Collection for spring 2025 and Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered for the upcoming December 10, both for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, it seems they have had a significant nod to fans of some of the biggest cult games from the company’s first console. A bit less exciting was the announcement of Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered for the upcoming October 31. Upgradable from the base version of PlayStation 4 and PC for 9.99 euros.
Surprisingly, VR has not taken up much space. Although it has occupied a very interesting place. Metro Awakening will arrive next November 7th and Hitman World of Assassination will follow in December. However, the most interesting release in this regard is The Midnight Walk, the first game from Moon Hood Studios, a game developed by veterans who worked on Lost in Random, whose characters and settings are entirely designed in clay, and which will arrive on PlayStation 5 and PSVR2 in 2025.
Something else they have announced are numerous DLCs and updates. Alan Wake 2 will receive its second DLC, The Lake House, next October. Stellar Blade will receive a photo mode, as well as a collaboration with Nier Automata in the form of a DLC throughout 2024. And Astro Bot, as we already knew, will have a DLC that will add new robots and challenge stages, still without a date.
In turn, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge has received a DLC called Radical Reptiles that introduces two new playable characters, Mondo Gecko and Mona Lisa, in addition to a new soundtrack. Also, today Palworld arrives on PlayStation 5, as has been rumored for some time. Although it may not be with the best timing in the world, considering the current situation with Nintendo.
Going by months, it shows that Sony has wanted to end the narrative that there is nothing to play on their console. To begin with, Fear the Spotlight, a third-person horror game by Cozy Game Pals, and the first game published by Blumhouse Games, will be released on October 22 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 after appearing on PC with very positive reviews. Similarly, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be released on October 31, which they have taken advantage of to show a new trailer of an intense boss fight.

For the rest of the year, they have also announced things. Although all already known. We have LEGO Horizon Adventures on the horizon for next November 14, Fantasian Neon Dimension on December 5 and Sonic X Shadow Generations on December 12. All both on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
The major announcements of the event, in fact, have been for 2025. Practically all with dates. Hell is Us has not been one of them, but this post-apocalyptic soulslike for PlayStation 5 looks spectacular. Just as spectacular are Dynasty Warriors Origins and Monster Hunter Wilds, which had appeared at previous brand events, and finally have release dates: January 17 and February 28 respectively.
Although there has been a major release, it has been Ghost of Yōtei. Developed by Sucker Punch, this is the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima. With a scheduled release date for 2025 and a female protagonist, we have little information beyond a spectacular trailer and a more twilight tone than the previous game, which makes us have faith that, although it still has a lot of work ahead, perhaps Sony still has gas in the tank.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth has been shown in Sony’s State of Play to finally give us a release date, in fact, very close in time
Few games have left such a clear mark on an entire generation as Final Fantasy 7. It was responsible for popularizing J-RPGs, Final Fantasy, and Japanese games. Even today, it is remembered as a masterpiece, and its popularity has allowed it to have the largest remake in the history of video games. Divided into three parts, so far, we have only been able to play Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, which covers approximately what happens at the end of the first disc of the original game. But that will soon change.
In today’s State of Play, Sony has given us a closer look at Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second installment of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy. Covering at least the first half of the original game, the trailer showcased the game’s system, characters, and some of the changes.
As we already knew from the ending of Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade, this remake will not follow the story of the original Final Fantasy 7 in the exact same way. In addition to many scenes that are not immediately recognizable in the trailer, there are characters who shouldn’t even be present at the point in the game where it takes place. This means we are looking at a very significant remake that will bring about a quite substantial change to the game, aiming to be more than just a modernized version of a cult classic.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is scheduled for release on February 29, 2024. Unlike the previous game, it will be released on two discs. Furthermore, you can already pre-order the game separately or in a bundle with Intergrade, which they’ve called the Twin Pack, ensuring that you don’t miss out on what is expected to be a strong contender for Game of the Year next year.
