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.

Lords Of The Fallen II developer CI Games debuted a brand new episode of their ongoing development series ‘Lifting the Veil’, diving deeper into the game’s brutal soulslike combat.

Staying true to the studio’s ‘player first’ approach of offering continued updates and directly addressing community feedback, the new video features insights from key members of the development team including game director James Lowe, lead system designer Daniel Regan, producer Alex Harkin, and creative strategist Ryan Hill. 

This latest ‘Lifting the Veil’ is packed with never-before-seen gameplay footage form the alpha build, showcasing new combat mechanics, enemies, weapons, spells, and much more, all highlighting what makes Lords Of The Fallen II bolder, braver, and bloodier.

Fans of the series can expect some notable evolutions to combat in Lords Of The Fallen II, including:

• A greater sense of speed and maneuverability: Not only can Lampbearers now charge into the fray like a mosh pit, the area of control players are expected to manage will be larger, necessitating faster and smarter reaction-time. Combat becomes a personal tango with death.
• A wider variety of options in combat: Alongside significantly increased weapon variety, players will be able to swap seamlessly between melee, ranged, and spellcasting, encouraging a more eclectic mix of behavior and tactics during combat.
• Heavy attacks give players more to consider than just greater damage. Players will need to make critical combat decisions on the fly that can either cinch a victory or result in punishment for overextending their hand.
• All-new graphic executions add further depth to the franchise’s signature flavour of highly aggressive combat, as players render the environments from battleground to bloodbath.

Key Features:

• Explore a Broken World: Journey across a vast, war-torn kingdom crumbling from within, as the realms of living and dead begin to bleed into one. From moonlit citadels to time-ravaged temples, tread carefully, for each step forward may well be your last.
• Master Tactical Combat: Engage in intense, soulslike battles where every strike counts thanks to a fast, fluid and aggressive combat system. Whether steel or sorcery, melee or ranged, experiment with countless builds to overcome each unique enemy encounter before delivering an arena-drenching execution.
• Battle Monstrous Bosses: Confront colossal abominations forged in a world without hope and void of mercy. Each distinct showdown will prove a brutal test of skill, grit, and unyielding will. Though aid is at hand, should you seek it…
• Harness the Umbra: As bearer of the Umbral lamp, you have the ability to pass between the realms of the living and the dead, each with its own pathways, treasures, and of course, nightmarish creatures. But even greater, darker powers await you on this journey…

Lords Of The Fallen II is set to arrive on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Epic Games Store) in 2026
