Polish publisher and developer CI Games has announced Lords of the Fallen 2 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The sequel to 2023's Lords of the Fallen was confirmed as part of a release via Polish financial media outlet Bankier. According to the release, the sequel (for now dubbed Lords of the Fallen 2) will be fully exclusive on PC via the Epic Games Store "throughout" the game's lifecycle. As such, Lords of the Fallen won't be a timed EGS-exclusive on PC.

As for the release on consoles, the release reads:

"Rights to the Game and the series, including all copyrights (IP), including the rights to publish and global distribution of the Game on all other platforms, including PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, for which the Game is currently being developed, will remain with the Company".

More information about the sequel will be shared in the near future.

Glad its getting a sequel, game was fantastic. Can't wait for the uproar about having to click a different launcher though.

 

[StereoVsn]

Well, I guess they don’t need any PC sales. Good luck.

Actually looking forward to this after finishing Lords of the Fallen two days ago. Best non-From Souls game around. They get it.

 

[Larxia]

Enjoy your flop on PC.

 

[Aion002]

Nice.

 

[thief183]

Well, the first did well even if it was only on Epic, and actually after the patch is probably the best soul-like game around.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Whaaaaaaat the FUCK? Out of nowhere like that? What about paid expansions for the first game?

I mean, thank fuck there's TLOTF2 cuz despite the flaws of the first one, they were given a chance to make it right with the second one. But FUCK EGS exclusivity!

 

[winjer]

FFS, stop with this Epic exclusive bullshit.
Just release the game on all stores and let the user choose.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

"fully exclusive"? I guess they quite literally do not care about PC sales. They are content with console sales, and that is fine. It is still incredibly awful on the part of both companies to perpetuate this horseshit.

This is a game that I desperately want to play, but I simply do not know when I would squeeze it in.

 

[M1987]

Couldn't even get past the first boss without it crashing my PC

 

[ClanOfNone]

Sequel was a giant improvement over the first and the best non-From souls game in recent memory AND they gave it a lot of post release updates.
I’m down.

 

[Luipadre]

Last game was bad too so all yours. I cant stand that lamp mechanic

It’s not gigantic. At all. You can probably finish at around 24 hours. That’s how long it took me to finish and get 44% trophies.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Epic exclusive?

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

C'mon bro.. I supported your first one

 

[Dazraell]

If I remember correctly, the rumored title of this game was "Death of the Fallen". Didn't expected they will take it so literally

 

[BennyBlanco]

Keep it

 

[Agent_4Seven]

C'mon bro.. I supported your first one

They don't care about any of us who supported them and their game, clearly.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

They don't care about any of us who supported them and their game, clearly.

Yeah I definitely feel that

 

[Hohenheim]

Couldn't care less about the EG exclusivity. I have no problems with opening a different launcher from time to time.

The last game was quite good, and if they adress a few of the issues then this have lots of potential.
Expecting a solid 7/10. Amazing art and creature design and somewhat clunky but servicable combat.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Looking forward to it, first is a good game, alot of hate for it but some of us like this shit rather than getting erect for Astrobot and superhero games.

 

[LazyParrot]

I wonder how much Epic paid them.

 

[Kataploom]

EGS exclusive? So it's scheduled for 2027 then lol

 

[Agent_4Seven]

EGS exclusive? So it's scheduled for 2027 then lol

EGS exclusive throughout the game's lifecycle, which means permanently.

 

[Kataploom]

EGS exclusive throughout the game's lifecycle, which means permanently.

So the sequel is cancelled? Oh, well if I like the first game whenever l play it, I'll make sure to appreciate it a lot then

 

[Dreathlock]

EGS=No money from me

 

[RoboFu]

Nah I didn't like the first game enough to support a shitty pc store.

 

[LordCBH]

DOA on pc then.

 

[ssringo]

Too bad. Got a feeling a lot of us that enjoyed the previous game despite it's flaws ain't following you.

 

[Sanepar]

Well good luck!

Lies of P is much better imo.

 

[Roman Empire]

Lies of P is much better imo.

This so much. Lords can't hold a candle to Lies of P. It's not even a competition.

 

[Arsic]

First game was hot liquid shit, and that’s being nice.

You’d have to put it for free on gamepass for me to consider touching it.

 

[M1987]

nvm

 

[PanzerCute]

Last one was mid as hell but had some interesting stuff. Hope they can make a good one next, now that they have the basics and some experience.

 

[Portugeezer]

Fantastic news.

 

[proandrad]

Four months later, Lords of the Fallen 2 failed to reach sales expectations.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Considering how this game apparently "barely made it", doing something like this is a bit... bold. I'm surprised.

 

[stickkidsam]

I’m surprised it’s even getting a sequel considering the ending.

I really enjoyed the gameplay but the story left a lot to be desired in the last half, so hopefully they can blow us away here.

 

[mckmas8808]

Well, I guess they don’t need any PC sales. Good luck.

Yeah this is nuts. I only own a ps5, but my brain cannot comprehend a lifetime PC exclusive on the epic game store. I just don't get it.

 

[fart town usa]

First was frustrating, in a not good way, until I abused NG+0 and started over at level 35 or so. I then felt like I could actually engage with the game and not run through certain areas. It's a dope game for what it is. I'm holding off on playing it again until my buddy gets it so we can coop.

Combat is fun and I adore how fast your character is, the run speed is comically fast. Just needs better balancing and a few other adjustments. Lots to like with the game if you stick with it and a sequel could honestly be a masterpiece. The developers are on to something with their style of Soulslike.

 

[Pejo]

Well whatever, I'm spoiled on choice, hope the exclusive epicbux works out for them.

 

[struggler_guts]

Lords of the fallen 2, but actually 3

 

[StereoVsn]

Yeah this is nuts. I only own a ps5, but my brain cannot comprehend a lifetime PC exclusive on the epic game store. I just don't get it.

It is weird. I guess Epic must have paid them enough so they are not worried about getting any revenue from PC.

Weird strategy.

 

[El Muerto]

Took 8 months to get Lords of the Fallen on gamepass. I guess i'll wait for it to hit on there.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I hope they received a payout half as good as Remedy did for Alan Wake 2 because they are going to be treated like lepers for this.
