Lords of the Fallen made a huge comeback when it was released by developer Hexworks in 2023. This sequel/soft reboot to the series was exactly what it needed to grab the attention of the gaming community. With the new game, the events of the original still happened but they are an ancient tale. In the 2023 iteration of the game, you must take up the role of the Lampbearer and embark on a quest to overthrow Adyr, the demon god.
Since the release of Lords of the Fallen (2023), many have become infatuated with the game’s tough combat system and unique traversal. You use a lamp to transport yourself between realms, granting you access to hidden paths but leaving yourself open to even more danger. Some bosses can only be fought in this dead realm while others are strictly bound to the realm of the living. If you loved the new version of the game, you will be happy to know the next game in the series is in development.
Hexworks posted on the official Lords of the Fallen X Page to share the news with the gaming community on June 18, 2024. In the post, they stated, “We’re delighted to announce that the next major installment in the Lords of the Fallen franchise is officially in development, and will launch in 2026 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. We look forward to delivering the very best gaming experience possible to you, our loyal fellowship of Lampbearers.”
This is great news for those who are fans of the Lords of the Fallen franchise. Lords of the Fallen 2 is sure to be a smash hit considering the success of the reboot/sequel. It is nice to see the franchise continuing and we can’t wait to see another game from devs that understand the souls-like formula like Hexworks.
