Hexworks has released an extended gameplay presentation for Lords of the Fallen, and as we have come to expect, it looks exquisite.
The presentation gave us another chance to see the harrowing environments we will be presented with on release. We will be able to explore Axiom, the realm of the living, and Umbral, the realm of the dead.

This chap is known as a 'Mendacious Visage', and I certainly wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night (although, that is probably exactly what will happen whenever I play the game). There was also another enemy that reminded me of Silent Hill's Pyramid Head.
Players will be able to take a look into Umbral at any time, thanks to the rather handy Umbral Lamp. The demonstration of this looked flawless, as did the rest of the showcase, which you can watch below.
When we head into those inevitable confrontations with what the developer has called «the ravaging legions of Adyr» (Adyr being a demon God), there will be a range of methods for overcoming them. We will be able to use might and magic in our quest for victory, with the option to map up to four additional magic or ranged skills to the controller, to make things even slicker.
Of course, you don't have to go it alone, and there is the option to play Lords of the Fallen in multiplayer mode.

Following the above presentation, Steam updated its Lords of the Fallen page with
