Recently, eagle-eyed gamers spotted a listing on the Xbox Store for Tides of Annihilation, the new hack-n-slash title revealed by Eclipse Glow Games at the State of Play showcase. This ambitious, post-apocalyptic title turned heads for its representation of a tantalising combination between Stellar Blade and Elden Ring.
The listing on the Xbox Store surfaced without warning and even had a price point associated with it – a modest sum of $22.49. However, gamers trying to purchase the game were met with something of a digital stonewall.
Not Yet
Tides of Annihilation isn’t out yet – and presently, nobody knows when it will be released. When it does drop it’ll be on Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and PC.
On social media, Wario64 shared an image of the Xbox Store, showing that Tides of Annihilation had seemingly been released and had a price point of just $22.49. This encouraged gamers to try purchasing the game, but they were met with nothing but a stonewall and a 300 MB ‘placeholder’ file.
Unfortunately, the transactions were carried out as expected, which means players were charged the $22.49 that they paid for the file.
It could have been that someone at Xbox was very excited about the prospect of Tides of Annihilation and pressed a button a little too early.
Here’s the most recent extended gameplay trailer for Tides of Annihilation, just to loop you in and set your expectations:
Tides of Annihilation is a mystical, post-apocalyptic title set in a torn rendition of London. The game’s protagonist, Gwendolyn, has an ethereal connection to spectral knights of Arthurian mythology and uses their powers to battle monumental and enormous boss characters.
I recently caught up with Eclipse Glow Games to ask them about some of the core elements of Tides of Annihilation.
