In a captivating fusion of contemporary features and timeless Arthurian lore, you step into the armored footsteps of Gwendolyn, the last of her kind following an Outworld invasion. With her ability to summon the formidable power of the ancient Knights of the Round Table during combat, she stands as a beacon of hope. We’ve been holding onto some intriguing details since our roundtable Q&A with developers at Gamescom 2024, and now we can finally share them with you!

Is Tides of Annihilation Better Than Stellar Blade?

2024 saw Stellar Blade falling short in many Game of the Year lists, yet it’s showing promising signs as a future cult classic. Critics have found issues with its narrative, open-world exploration, and character design, but they can’t deny that its thrilling, intense combat is a standout feature.

The game’s story may seem like a watered-down version of NieR:Automata‘s philosophical odyssey, but it still manages to exude an endearing appeal. This charm stems from its captivating music and art design, which create a polished, glamorous blockbuster adventure.

As for its successor, Tides of Annihilation, early indications suggest it could follow a similar path.
