The story so far
What we know about Lords of the Fallen II
Lords of the Fallen II is a dark fantasy action RPG and the sequel to the 2023 soulslike Lords of the Fallen. It is developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games, and it was first announced at Gamescom 2025. The Steam page describes brutal, aggressive soulslike combat, demanding boss fights, character customisation with varied builds, and a world split between the realms of the living and the dead, which players move between using an Umbral lamp.
Online co-op for up to two players is listed on the Steam page. The game is announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, with PC distribution through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The Steam listing supports 13 languages and is still marked as coming soon.
The release has moved. The game was originally aimed at 2026, with a September slot reported, but in June 2026 CI Games delayed it to Q1 2027. The company said extra time would be used to refine the game based on feedback from experienced soulslike players, and that the new window sits outside a crowded holiday period. No exact day has been announced.

More polish before launch
