CI Games announces The Lords of the Fallen during Gamescom Opening Night Live
Gamescom 2022 Opening Night Live saw CI Games finally announce their next action role-playing game, The Lords of the Fallen. The game is a reboot of the studio's 2014 title of the same name.

Building anticipation, fans were informed about the game's narrative and key features.
According to the press release at Gamescom 2022, The Lords of the Fallen is set 1000 years before the events of the first game, with the world being split between the living called the Axiom and the dead Umbral.
