Anticipated Sequel to Lords of Fallen in the Works for a 2026 Release

CI Games is stirring excitement within the gaming community with plans to roll out a sequel to their successful Soulslike game, Lords of Fallen. Unearthed documents by the game analyst Kuraksis offer a glimpse into the anticipated launch schedule, pinpointing 2026 as the target year for the sequel's debut.

Upon its original release, Lords of Fallen quickly became a hit, achieving sales of over a million copies within the span of its first ten days. This commercial success laid a clear pathway for CI Games to consider a sequel, which would keep players engaged and draw continued attention to the franchise.

Among several ventures that CI Games is exploring, the sequel, presently titled Death of Fallen, is garnering significant attention. The title is one part of a larger portfolio that includes an open-survival game named Gate to Gehenna, another chapter in the Sniper Ghost Warrior lineup, and a multiplayer tactical shooter, Project Scorpio. Nevertheless, it's Death of Fallen that is capturing the limelight, thanks to the anticipation it’s building within the gaming community.

Exact details about Death of Fallen remain scarce, but information shared by Kuraksis notes that Hexworks, the studio behind Lords of the Fallen, is also leading this sequel's development. Touted to be utilizing the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5 akin to its predecessor, the new installment promises to deliver "more ambitious gameplay options to captivate a broader audience," as per the shared documents. Expectations align towards a cross-platform release that includes PC and the latest consoles, although an official confirmation is yet to surface.

As fans eagerly await 2026, Hexworks continues to enhance the original Lords of the Fallen experience, enriching the game with a continued stream of free content throughout the year. With the studio's commitment to building upon the existing game’s success, the possibility of additional paid DLCs surfacing in the future wouldn't come as a surprise.
