One of many video games which will effectively have caught your eye on this week’s PlayStation State of Play was Tides of Annhilation, a freshly-announced action-adventure factor that’ll see you slice via ruined London with a gang of knights King Arthur would’ve invited to his spherical desk.
Effectively, Chinese language developer Eclipse Glow Video games has now proven off an prolonged have a look at its gameplay. Plus, it has been revealed that the sport’s not simply packing the plain Baldur’s Gate 3 star whose voice you heard the opposite day – there are at the very least two of them donning their chainmail for ToA.
Initially, you possibly can check out the brand new gameplay through IGN. It runs for about 11 minutes, and in that point you get to see protgonist Gwendolyn – performed by Shadowheart voice actor Jennifer English – stroll via some ruined streets that characteristic the likes of crimson submit bins so you realize that is the capital of Disappointment Island.
Gwendolyn spends a time chatting with a companion character known as Niniane, strolling previous our bodies if folks frozen in place by the “abrupt invasion from one other realm” that is knocked London into this state, and battling knights in hack-and-slash fight that lets you warp about and has some verticality to it.
One cool part in a “fold realm” sees her run up the facet of a magically-crumbling skyscraper, earlier than she reaches a museum. Right here, she battles a boss known as Mordred – who says she’s “Pendragon”, so sounds fairly rattling key to the Arthurian stuff occurring – in a reasonably cool multi-stage combat.
That is about it for the gameplay, however there may be one different fascinating factor that is been revealed, as Baldur’s Gate 3 voice actor and efficiency director Aliona Baranova has tweeted that she’s taking part in Mordred.
