Summary

  • A two-hour hands-on demo cast players as Lady Gwendolyn, the last human in a ruined London, mixing Arthurian myth with fast, combo-heavy combat and knight summons.
  • Bayonetta- and Devil May Cry-style battles anchor the game, with parries, stagger meters, swappable knights, and multi-stage bosses including Anubis and a dragon-riding Mordred.
  • Eclipse Glow also showed exploration systems beyond combat—puzzles, platforming, optional bosses, build-changing badges, and multiple large zones branching off the main story path.
  • One notable update: Angela Sant’Albano has replaced Jennifer English as Gwendolyn after English exited the project for health reasons.
  • The debut title comes from Chengdu-based Eclipse Glow Games, whose 150 developers include veterans of Persona, Yakuza, For Honor and Assassin’s Creed, underscoring the broader rise of Chinese-made action games.
