Eurogamer spotted the tidbits in CI Games’ latest financial report, where the publisher revealed Lords of the Fallen 2 (for lack of an official name) will have a “more commercial” art style and narrative, suggesting it wants the game to have more mainstream appeal.
CI Games also promised gameplay improvements, more game mode options, and full “shared-progression” co-op alongside the “core” single-player campaign, all developed with “elevated production values” fueled by Unreal Engine 5.
The publisher confirmed it had received a “major investment” from Epic Games for PC exclusivity on the Epic Games Store, which means Lords of the Fallen 2 will not initially launch on Steam.
It’s nice that they give the franchise another chance after the disaster of a launch the previous entry had. I really enjoyed it post-launch when most issues were fixed.
However, looking to “appeal to the mainstream” sounds like it might backfire and become a game for nobody. I’m cautiously optimistic for now.
Also, it’s Epic exclusive so they can wake me up once it hits Steam or GOG for half the price.
Yea kind of a nothing-statement, I agree
Not exactly “new” news, but I thought I’d share nonetheless given LotF’s recent 2.0 update. Will any of you be checking this out?
Once they fix the co-op issues I will, it looks interesting.
