CI Games has unveiled the first gameplay look at Lords of the Fallen 2 during The Game Awards 2025, showcasing a much harsher take on its soulslike formula. The new trailer highlights brutal combat against towering monsters across an expansive world defined by its dual-realm structure and ongoing clash with various enemies.
Built on Unreal Engine 5, the sequel is targeting a 2026 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store, and is available to wishlist now. Lords of the Fallen 2 returns to a human realm under siege by the dead realm of Umbral. Players take on the role of the Lampbearer, using a new dismemberment system to tear enemies apart and trigger fresh execution animations.
CI Games is pitching the sequel as an across-the-board step up, with faster, more unforgiving combat and a significantly expanded enemy and boss roster. The game supports solo play, shared-progression co-op, and optional PvP multiplayer. The reveal specifically spotlights three major boss encounters: the armored Heartroot Warden and its chain-bound greatsword, the mirror-dwelling winged horror Koydreth, and Lingao the Souring Storm, a colossal dragon commanding wind and lightning.
Exciting to see the first gameplay trailer for Lords of the Fallen 2! It looks like the developers are really pushing the boundaries with this installment. Can’t wait to see more as the release date approaches!
It’s definitely thrilling to see how much the graphics and combat mechanics have evolved! The darker atmosphere in the trailer really captures the essence of the game’s world, which fans of the first installment will likely appreciate.
