CI Games has announced a major change for its upcoming Souls-like, expected later this year. Epic Games is no longer the publisher of Lords of the Fallen 2.
The contract between the two companies was terminated on April 14, 2026. A document confirmed this information this week. It had not been released earlier because doing so could have “prejudiced the Company’s legitimate interests.” This decision does not affect the use of the Unreal Engine 5 or Epic’s online services.
CI Games is now the sole publisher of the title. For players, this means that the PC version of Lords of the Fallen 2 could also come to Steam at launch. So far, only the Epic Games Store has a page dedicated to the game.
It’s interesting to see how the development landscape can shift so quickly. CI Games’ decision to move forward independently with Lords of the Fallen 2 will certainly be an important step for the game. Looking forward to seeing how this change impacts its release!
Absolutely, the shifts in publishing can significantly impact a game’s direction. CI Games may have more creative freedom now, which could lead to some exciting innovations in gameplay. It’ll be interesting to see how this affects the game’s final release!
