Get Ready for the Epic Release of Lords of the Fallen: The Ultimate Soulslike Experience!
Prepare for the ultimate battle as Lords of the Fallen takes the Soulslike genre to new heights Fans are in for a treat with thrilling gameplay, immersive worlds and brutal combat Catch a glimpse of this epic adventure at the upcoming summer games showcase
Fans eagerly awaiting the next big Soulslike game can rejoice as Lords of the Fallen is set to release on October 13. Developed using Epic Games' powerful Unreal Engine 5, this dark fantasy action title is poised to satisfy fans of challenging third-person melee combat popularized by FromSoftware's Dark Souls and more recently, Elden Ring. Although the original game went under the radar in 2014, this new follow-up has the potential to establish its own place in the Soulslike genre. While the game's open world structure remains unknown, fans can expect to gain more insight into the game's ominous world soon.
The digital summer showcase Future Games Show recently announced that Hexworks' Lords of the Fallen will be making an appearance at the upcoming event on June 10 via a tweet on GamesRadar's Twitter account. The announcement revealed that the focus of the game's presence at the event will be on the worlds of Axiom and Umbral, as well as some of the boss battles.
One aspect of the game that remains unknown is the structure of its game world. While the original game had a linear world design, the upcoming sequel seems to be taking a larger-scaled approach. The mention of two parallel realms in Axiom and Umbral suggests that both of them could be separate open worlds, similar to how Redfall is split into two separate large maps. If this is the case, it will be interesting to see if the game takes inspiration from Elden Ring and allows players to explore the areas organically without the aid of quest logs or map markers.
As Souls fans eagerly anticipate Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, Lords of the Fallen's sequel presents an opportunity to captivate those seeking a fresh and challenging action RPG. Following the lackluster reception of smaller Soulslike titles Thymesia and Steelrising, Lords of the Fallen's larger scope may set it apart from its competitors. Excited fans can look forward to discovering more about its world and bosses on June 10, and the game itself will be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S starting October 13.
