Lords of the Fallen II

Lords of the Fallen 2 is a dark fantasy action RPG developed and published by CI Games, announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live in August 2025 and scheduled to release in 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store. Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game is a direct sequel set 100 years after the events of Lords of the Fallen (2023), with the Umbral ending of the first game confirmed as canon. 

The dual-realm system at the heart of the original returns and is expanded significantly: both Axiom and Umbral are rendered simultaneously with no loading screens between them, and the Umbral now bleeds into the player in new mechanical and visual ways. Combat is described as more aggressive and grounded than the first game, with a greater emphasis on dismemberment, visceral executions, and weapon variety, including scythes, flails, crossbows, and swords. The studio has compared the sequel's ambitions to The Empire Strikes Back, positioning it as a bolder and darker follow-up rather than a safe iteration. Shared progression co-op returns alongside the single-player campaign.
