The Lords of the Fallen Announced at Gamescom Opening Night 2022
/The Lords of the Fallen was announced by developer Hexworks during Gamescom Opening Night 2022 and revealed a cinematic trailer for the game. This is a sequel to the Lords of the Fallen game that was released back in 2014.
Also announced at Gamescom 2022: Dune Awakening.
According to a post from PlayStation blog, The Lords of the Fallen is set a thousand years after the events of the first game and features seamless online co-op with nine starting classes. The world is said to be five times larger than the original game and players will go on a journey to overthrow Adyr, the tyrannical demon God.
Here is a rundown of key features found in the game’s Steam page.
Key Features
Explore Vast, Interconnected Worlds – Journey across two expansive, parallel worlds in your epic quest to overthrow Adyr. While the living realm presents its own brutal challenges, untold terrors lurk in the nightmarish realm of the dead.
Define Your Own Legend – Fully customize your character’s appearance from a wide array of visual options, before selecting one of nine character classes. Whichever starting path you take, develop your character to your own playstyle by upgrading stats, weapons, armour and spells.
Master Fast, Challenging Fluid Tactical Combat – Only those that master the deep, tactical combat can hope to survive. Choose from 100s of uniquely brutal weapons, or forgo metal for magic with devastating attacks of the arcane.
Unite or Fight in Online Multiplayer – Experience the expansive, single player campaign alone, or invite a second player to join your adventure in uninterrupted, online co-op. But be warned – Heroes from other realms can, and will invade.
Wield a Device of Ungodly Power – Your lantern possesses the ungodly power to cross between worlds. Use this dark art to reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even manipulate the very soul of your foe.
Rise from Death – Fall in the world of the living, and rise again… in the world of the dead. You now have one final chance to return to your living state, as all manner of hellish creature descends upon you.
The Lords of the Fallen is set to launch on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC through Steam sometime in 2023.
