Lords of the Fallen II
Blood on the lantern: what the sequel is chasing
Lords of the Fallen IIÂ picks up about a century after the 2023 reboot and doubles down on its best idea: two overlapping realms that reshape routes, encounters, and risk. Hexworks aims for a 2026 release and a sharper combat cadenceâsnappier recoveries, more assertive bosses, and cancels that reward pressure. The Umbral lamp isnât a gimmick here; realm swapping opens bespoke paths, realmâexclusive enemies, and traps that punish greedy clears. Coâop returns with shared campaign progression and optâin PvP, so running the game with a friend no longer feels like a side mode.
How it plays
The loop remains Soulslike, just angrier. You build around weapons, catalysts, and spell schools, then stitch perks and infusions into a kit that survives both realities. In Axiom, spacing and posture rule. In Umbral, the rules bendâenemy behavior shifts, hazards stack, and shortcuts tempt disaster. The goal is agency: choose when to flip, when to force a stagger, and when to disappear. If Hexworks lands consistent hit reactions and boss scripting, this could be the version that finally feels as good as it looks.
Key features
- Twoârealm traversal: Swap between Axiom and Umbral to find routes, secrets, and realmâexclusive threats.
- Meaner combat: Faster recoveries, tighter cancels, and bosses that punish passive play.
- Sharedâprogress coâop: Finish the campaign together and keep the gains; optâin PvP for spice.
- Deeper buildcraft: Broader stat spread, infusion paths, and expanded sorceries for hybrid kits.
- UE5 presentation: Highâcontrast gothic art with readable telegraphs and heavier VFX clarity.
- Currentâgen focus: Target platforms are PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Context for veterans
The 2023 entry matured after a sweeping 2.0 update that fixed coâop flow, balance, and netcode. Hexworks says that learning is baseline here. Expect a bigger Umbral, better encounter logic, and fewer edgeâcase deaths. If you bounced off the first for feel, this sequel is the second chance worth taking.
