Released back in October 2023, Lords of the Fallen is the follow-up to 2024’s The Lords of the Fallen, and is available for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. The game suffered from a tumultuous production cycle, which originally saw Defiant Studios developoing the game before their contract was terminated by CI Games and Hexworks taking over. A full sequel is currently in production.
