'Lords Of The Fallen' Ends Post-Launch Content Support With v1.5: Master of Fate Update

by Rainier on April 24, 2024 @ 12:29 a.m. PDT

Lords Of The Fallen is an action RPG set within a medieval fantasy world ruled by a Fallen God where you will fight against the formidable Lords and Generals that command his demonic army.

Taking place more than a thousand years after the events of the first game, Lords Of The Fallen introduces an all-new adventure in a vast, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, embark on an epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the demon God.

An expansive RPG experience - filled with NPC quests, compelling characters, and rich narrative - players will need to create their own hero before tackling the immersive single player campaign. They will also have the option to invite a second player to join their adventure in uninterrupted online co-op - a new feature for the franchise.

After an age of the cruelest tyranny, the demon God, Adyr, was finally defeated. But Gods… do not fall forever. Now, aeons later, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in this expansive RPG experience, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of light… or one of darkness?

Coexisting like two sides of the same coin, the Dual Worlds of Axiom (the realm of the living) and Umbral (the realm of the dead) each feature their own unique pathways, enemies, characters, and, of course, treasures. And while it is often down to the player which realm they journey through, they will regularly need to switch from one to the other in order to progress.  

Dare to Hope.

CI Games launched version 1.5 – ‘Master of Fate’, a free update for Lords of the Fallen.

‘Master of Fate’ is the culmination of over 30 updates since launch, resulting in significant improvements to performance, stability and optimisation, alongside rigorous difficulty balancing in response to user feedback.

Available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5, the update also delivers the final milestone of the game’s extensive post-launch roadmap: the Advanced Game Modifier System.

The latest new feature – the Advanced Game Modifier System – places power directly into players’ hands, allowing them to fully customise their game experience, using any combination of seven modifiers, to make the game easier, more difficult, or simply a completely new experience every time. Modifiers include the ability to randomise enemies, alter mob density and even enable a form of permadeath.

Today’s release also coincides with a 50% discount for Lords of the Fallen on PlayStation Store – the deepest discount to date – which will be followed by the same discount during CI Games’ Steam publisher sale starting 29th April.

Saul Gascon, Executive Producer and Head of Studio, HEXWORKS, said: “We’d like to thank the many players who have embarked upon Mournstead since we launched six months ago; their belief in our vision has been a real driving force for us. In response to their support for the game, we expanded the period of live support for Lords of the Fallen with an ambitious post-launch roadmap. This was built around four significant content updates, alongside numerous smaller releases, which included tons of new content and major performance and stability improvements. Reaching Version 1.5 with the Master of Fate update and its genuinely groundbreaking modifier system marks the completion of that roadmap, making the Lords of the Fallen experience the best it's ever been.”

Advanced Game Modifier Options

  • Ironman: Dying in Umbral resets your current playthrough, and you will awaken at the start once again. The world progression is reset, but player progression and inventory is retained. Certain scripted moments are excluded from this.
  • Pre-Upgraded Loot: Weapons, shields and catalysts found as loot from enemies, or in the world, will come pre-upgraded based on your player level.
  • Randomized Loot: Loot dropped by enemies, and found in the world, is randomized. Does not affect quest and progression items, nor unique boss items.
  • Randomized Enemies: Enemies encountered in the world now appear in a random order. Does not impact named boss enemies.
  • More Enemies: The world contains significantly more enemies.
  • Withered Healing: All healing received is Withered Healing, and must be confirmed by dealing damage to enemies.
  • Vestige Decay:
    • No Vestige Decay: No Vestige has withered away, leaving you all possible places of respite.
    • Minor Vestige Decay: Some Vestiges have withered away, leaving you with fewer places of respite.
    • Extensive Vestige Decay: Many Vestiges have withered away, often leaving you without rest for long stretches.
    • Tremendous Vestige Decay: All Vestiges, except for a rare few, have withered away. Truly, a restless experience.

How to Activate the Advanced Game Modifier System

  1. Start Lords of the Fallen
  2. Choose New Game
  3. Make your Class Selection and customize your character’s appearance
  4. On the final screen of the Character Creator navigate to the right button Advanced Game Modifiers
  5. Enable Advanced Game Modifiers
  6. Choose a character name
  7. Press Play
  8. The Game Modifiers screen appears
  9. Select any combination of modifiers, and Confirm.

We hope you all enjoy returning to Mournstead with an all-new purpose, or if this is the first time you’re embarking, then the very best of luck, Lampbearer.

In Light, We Walk.
