What is Lords of the Fallen?

 " Hello Again... Deathless One. "

Lords of the Fallen (LotF) is a new third-person dark fantasy action RPG game and the sequel to the 2014 Lords of The Fallen game. Lords of the Fallen was presented during Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022. It is being developed by Hexworks and it will be published by CI Games. Lords of the Fallen is an engaging third-person action role-playing game that offers players a unique experience. Players can use a combination of melee and range weapons and spells to defeat monstrous enemies. In all aspects, the game's combat system is heavily inspired by the Soulslike genre thus, expect a challenging but rewarding experience. Incorporated jaw-dropping visuals for both character models and its intricate world design.

The developers made it it an exciting challenge for gamers of all levels by paying attention to its cooperative campaign mode which allows players to complete the game with another player. On the other hand, a player-versus-player multiplayer mode is also available, which offers endless hours of fun and entertainment. At the beginning of the game, players can create and customize their own avatar according to their preference and choose from nine character classes. Each of these Classes is unique and a master of their special techniques and fighting style. Not only do these Classes offer extreme value, but there will be over 100 weapons to choose from thus, players are inclined to experiment with engaging character builds.

The game world is vast, and players can explore the world of Axiom, the realm of the living, and Umbral, the realm of the dead, using a magical lantern. One of its key features is players can use their lanterns to move between both worlds. The game features an interconnected world, and players can access otherwise inaccessible areas by visiting the other realm. Like in the Soulslike genre, if players die in combat, they will respawn in their last savepoint, and lose the unspent experience points. Savepoints are scarce in each region and players are forced to be tactical to progress. According to Hexworks, the upcoming game will boast a size five times greater than its predecessor. CI Games has confirmed that The Lords of the Fallen will be launched for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

What platforms will Lords of the Fallen be on?

CI Games has confirmed that The Lords of the Fallen will be launched on major platforms such as PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

The Region of Mournstead

" I look upon you with pity my lost child. "

Mornstead is a prominent region where Lords of the Fallen will take place. A truly iconic region where the Demon God Adyr lies. Across Mornstead's horizon, Adyr's hand can be observed. Towering over the land. A quiet spectacle but also an outlandish reminder of how powerful Adyr can be. The demon god's forces still loom over the land, making Mornstead a perilous region that no ordinary human tries to explore. Demonic beasts, fallen crusaders, faunas, and cult groups are the inhabitants of Mornstead.

Each has their own agenda. However, all of them have one thing in common. They are against you and they will never stop hunting you thus, come prepared. Aside from Mornstead's inhabitants, the Five Beacons of Sentinels towers the land. These holy towers serve as a beacon and a form of magical restraint over the demon god and the lore suggests that Adyr's forces or minions.

The Protagonist, The Lamp Bearer

" You never possessed the mettle for this, Crusader. "

A stout and formidable being who found the mysterious yet powerful lamp that can traverse through the world of Axiom and Umbral. The player will assume the role of this special crusader in Lords of the Fallen. A Crusader who can rise from the dead when slain and known as the " Two Lives ". an invaluable ability like no other.

The Dark Crusaders knew the existence of this special crusader and hence were recruited to fight Adyr. How little do we know about this special crusader's intentions? Being entrusted with the lamp is no mere coincidence and it could be an orchestrated act or simply fate. As an individual, you as the crusader will determine his or her destiny.

The World of Axiom in Lords of the Fallen

" Mournstead has fallen... "

This is where the game shines as it allows players to explore two parallel worlds simultaneously. Axiom is the world of the living. Take it as your standard world to explore compared to Umbral.
