Battle against the darkness in an epic adventure across a shattered kingdom.

One world. Two realms.

No mercy.

Realm by realm, nation after nation, the Umbral darkness consumed all in Her path. Now, centuries later, only one Kingdom remains; a sacred land, shrouded by an ancient force. Or so it was…

Stolen by the Gods themselves, mankind is left forsaken, defenceless against the darkness. Unless this force is restored, the shadow of death will devour all. But how do you kill… an immortal?

A hero must rise, for a God to fall.

At Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025, CI Games finally lifted the veil on Lords of the Fallen II – the braver, bolder and undoubtedly bloodier sequel to our 2023 dark fantasy action-RPG.

The new cinematic CGI trailer gives a glimpse into a world where light wanes, shadows darken, and the line between the living and the dead is all but gone.

The trailer sets the stage for what lies ahead: a kingdom fraying at its edges, ancient powers awakening, and a lone hero burdened with the impossible. All the while, the Umbral darkness spreads like a tide that cannot be stopped…

And perhaps it can’t.

Building on V2.0

Already in development for well over a year, Lords of the Fallen II continues to evolve the community celebrated update that was Lords of the Fallen v2.0, released in March 2025. The culmination of over 50 post-launch updates made to the original 2023 game, v2.0 represented a labour of love from the development team as they continued to refine our dark fantasy experience in response to the wealth of community feedback received since its launch. Lords of the Fallen II will take into account all the learnings and experience, building further on everything players loved about the original game, while also elevating it to a new and altogether more threatening place. We think you’re going to be surprised. 

A Century later

Lords of the Fallen II takes place a hundred years after the first game’s events, and while we won’t reveal exactly what’s happened during this period, we can confirm the stakes are higher than ever. The Umbral calamity has continued to spread, as the veil between realms is now fragile enough for the horrors of the dark to slip between worlds. With life itself hanging by a thread, even the Gods hide in fear of the encroaching gloom, leaving humanity utterly forsaken.

A sharper blade

Building on the fan favourite formula introduced as part of v2.0, combat continues to evolve for Lords of the Fallen II. Fights are faster, more decisive, and increasingly punishing for those who hesitate. The flow between strikes, dodges, and counters is designed to reward precision, but also tempt risk, while all-new executions up the brutality like never before. They really help take the ebb and flow of the soulslike dance to an all-new level, and give that all-important shot of dopamine like never before.

And of course, boss encounters remain at the heart of the experience, but we guarantee these climactic showdowns will feel more epic than ever.

The Two Realms

The Umbral Lamp returns, a beacon and a curse in equal measure. It grants passage between the living world and the Umbral realm — a place of hidden paths, strange treasures, and creatures born of nightmare. But crossing over is never without consequence; the dead notice the living, and the longer you remain, the closer they draw.

However, new and darker powers are presented to the player in Lords of the Fallen II. We wanted to intensify the presence of Umbral in the sequel, and look forward to seeing how players interact with some of the new abilities bestowed upon them.

The road ahead

This reveal marks the first step in the journey ahead – one that will take us deeper into the story, the world, and the dangers awaiting you.
