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.

Lords of the Fallen is currently planned for a release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2026. More information about the sequel will be shared in the near future.

We reviewed the 2022 reboot of Lords of the Fallen upon release, and while impressive visually and story-wise, the game fell short on combat, performance, and overall polish. Back in January of this year, it was announced that more than 1.2 million copies of the title were sold. Here's a short part of our review from 2022:

Lords of the Fallen showed a lot of promise before release, and I was disappointed to see how the game failed to deliver an enjoyable experience. Some die-hard Souls series fans may find some enjoyment in the 35 or so hours-long journey to save Mournstead, but everyone else likely won't be able to see past the game's many shortcomings. Combat is the heart and the (dark) soul of any soulslike, and an interesting story and solid world design can only do so little to alleviate issues stemming from clunky combat design.
