- Tides of Annihilation is set to launch in Fall 2026, according to a prominent leaker.
- Tencent owns 90% of the game and greenlit the title back in November 2021.
- A co-op mode is also lined up, and developer Eclipse Glow is already working on an expansion.
Since its initial reveal, Tides of Annihilation has enamoured fans with robust gameplay reminiscent of action titles like Devil May Cry, with the fantasy setting adding even more charm to an interesting premise.
Players have only been fed scraps for the past few months by developer Eclipse Glow Games, but new information from an insider has revealed some interesting tidbits, including the game’s internal release window.
Why It Matters: An action-based title inspired by Devil May Cry is much needed to release next year, following the dominance of JRPGs and Souls-likes in 2025.
According to insider Lunatic Ignus, Tides of Annihilation is scheduled to launch between September and October 2026, based on internal estimates.
Furthermore, the fantasy action game will feature a co-op mode, as revealed by the leaker, and the developer plans to announce this addition in 2025. Even more exciting is the news that an expansion/DLC of Tides of Annihilation is already in the works before the game even releases.
Judging from this, developer Eclipse Glow arguably has a lot of confidence in the project, and with the time they have had to make the game, it makes sense. According to the insider, Tides of Annihilation has been in development for over 3 years, as the game was greenlit back in November 2021, giving it a 5-year development cycle.
In addition, Tencent is set to own 90% of the title, meaning that most of the revenue will be generated by the Chinese gaming corporation.
With a Gamescom showcase about to come, in addition to a new trailer, players will get more Tides of Annihilation details very soon. If things go according to plan, a playable demo in Q4 2025 is a possibility.
Built using Unreal Engine 5 and set in a modern London engulfed by the mythical realm of Avalon, Tides of Annihilation will have a 30-hour main story, and if the DMC-inspired combat is any good, we are in for a treat.
