Lords of the Fallen publisher CI Games has confirmed the 2026 sequel has entered full development while revealing a handful of details about the action role-playing game.
Eurogamer spotted the tidbits in CI Games' latest financial report, where the publisher revealed Lords of the Fallen 2 (for lack of an official name) will have a "more commercial" art style and narrative, suggesting it wants the game to have more mainstream appeal.
CI Games also promised gameplay improvements, more game mode options, and full "shared-progression" co-op alongside the "core" single-player campaign, all developed with "elevated production values" fueled by Unreal Engine 5.
The publisher confirmed it had received a "major investment" from Epic Games for PC exclusivity on the Epic Games Store, which means Lords of the Fallen 2 will not initially launch on Steam.
A 2026 release window was revealed in June alongside its release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S, but practically nothing else is known about the sequel. Expect an announcement proper at some point in 2025.
Lords of the Fallen is a dark fantasy RPG released in 2023 as a sequel/reboot of the 2014 original. Taking inspiration from the Dark Souls games, it tells the story of a fabled Dark Crusaders who must embark on an epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the demon God.
In our 8/10 Lords of the Fallen review, IGN said: "Lords of the Fallen is an awesome Soulslike with a fantastic dual-realities premise, even when performance shortcomings and wimpy bosses crash the party."
