## Key points

- Tides of Annihilation blends action combat with Arthurian fantasy.
- Its preview draws comparisons to God of War.
- Gwendolyn’s design has sparked debate among players.

## Summary

A hands-on preview of Tides of Annihilation describes a forthcoming action game with more in common with God of War (2018) and Ragnarök than its Soulslike influences. Its mix of fast combat, Arthurian fantasy and a devastated modern London has the writer eager to see how it develops.

The preview followed about 45 minutes of play at Gamescom 2026. Players control Gwendolyn, who fights the Fog and its creatures using attacks, dodges, parries and finishing moves, alongside equippable knights inspired by the Round Table. Her character design has already prompted debate, and the writer says the brief demo cannot establish how the full game will portray her.
