#Lords of the fallen 2 developers series#

We do know The Lords of the Fallen will be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S if it finally launches, though. While CI Games previously suggested that this game will come out in 2023, no release window accompanied this announcement. That’s certainly a much more complicated development process than you’d expect from a sequel to a mediocre Soulslike from the mid-2010s, and it’s what makes it one of the more exciting announcements from Gamescom Opening Night Live. It has reinvented this project as The Lords of the Fallen, more of a successor than a direct sequel, and that’s the version of the game we’ll get if all goes well. In a press release from CI Games today, the company announced that the Hexworks development team will be based in Barcelona and Bucharest since opening in March and are now developing the sequel. Unfortunately, that collaboration ended a year later, and Lord of the Fallen 2 fell back into development limbo.Īfter that, development moved to Hexworks, an internal development team of over 75 people at CI Games.

In 2018, CI Games announced a partnership with a developer called Defiant Studios to finish the game. Its development was rife with issues, and CI Games made little progress internally before the team was significantly downsized. While reviews for it were middling, a sequel was announced soon after with a 2017 release window, although Deck 13 was not involved. Developers CI Games and Deck13 launched the original Lords of the Fallen in 2014 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Back in 2014, little known publisher CI Games (alongside of developer Deck13) put out Lords of the Fallen: a clearly Dark Souls-inspired romp with a viking. This game’s world is five times larger than that of the original Lords of the Fallen, it features online co-op, and everything is being enabled by Unreal Engine 5.Īlthough The Lords of the Fallen looks like a promising Soulslike RPG on its own, the most interesting thing about this game is its journey to release. The Lords of the Fallen is set 1,000 years after its 2014 predecessor and will have players exploring the realms of the living and the dead, completing quests for NPCs and slaying tough enemies along the way. While the trailer doesn’t show any gameplay, a press release gives more context for what players can expect from this Soulslike RPG.
