Eclipse Glow Games has revealed a fresh trailer for their forthcoming action-adventure title, *Tides of Annihilation*, during the Xbox Partner Preview. This is the second trailer drop following the game’s detailed announcement in February 2025. Set in the world of Avalon, the trailer highlights the Dual Frontline Battle system, showcasing protagonist Gwendolyn calling upon knights, including Lamorak, to assist in a boss confrontation within the Mirror World.

The storyline centers on Gwendolyn, the final survivor in a post-invasion London, as she traverses a landscape where reality blends with fantasy. Players will unveil hidden secrets to rescue her family and the city, leveraging the abilities of over 10 legendary knights drawn from Arthurian myth. The gameplay trailer accentuates the shift from London to the Otherworld territory of Avalon, concentrating on the Dual Frontline Battle system as players command Gwendolyn and her ally Lamorak against Tyronoe, the Ferryman.

Lead Game Producer Kun Fu conveyed enthusiasm regarding the game’s reinterpretation of Arthurian Legend, highlighting notions of bravery and heroism. *Tides of Annihilation* will be accessible on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store. Additional details can be located on the game’s official website.

Earlier this year, the most difficult of the four endings in Escape From Tarkov was emphasized as especially tough, with one player remarking on the significant effort needed to escape. As of November 15, Escape From Tarkov has attained version 1.0 and is officially available, encompassing the primary storyline and its four endings. In September, Tarkov game director Nikita Buyanov talked about the new content that comes with the 1.0 release, which includes the four distinct endings of the main questline. During a Q&A at the Tokyo Game Show 2025, Buyanov remarked, “For those aiming for the best outcome or wishing to escape with the top ending, it will be quite challenging and not everyone will manage to escape from Tarkov,” mentioning that only around 2% of players are anticipated to succeed, rendering it a notable accomplishment.

Recently, a well-known Tarkov player, Tigz, disclosed the cost of obtaining one of the endings, sharing their insights on X. One ending necessitates players to amass 500 million roubles, the in-game currency of Tarkov. Fans on Reddit have conveyed that the grind to achieve this figure is daunting, with some claiming it would demand “unlimited time” while others described the requirement as “utterly absurd.” The Twitter post featured fans humorously referencing the necessity for “thousands” of runs, while others voiced their disappointment.

Escape From Tarkov’s version 1.0 was released on November 15, and more information is accessible on the official website.
