Developer CI Games has announced that its souls-like Lords of the Fallen II has been delayed from Fall 2026 to the first quarter of 2027 for Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The team shared the following message:
Lords of the Fallen II is now set for a Q1 2027 release window.
As development progresses, we have worked closely with the Gameplay Feedback Team, a dedicated group of seasoned Souls-like veterans within our Launch Creative Team. Their valuable ongoing input, combined with the team’s vision, has identified meaningful opportunities to further refine and strengthen the overall experience.
These enhancements will benefit from additional integration, iteration, and polishing time, enabling the team to deliver the highest possible quality at launch.
This updated release window also strategically positions Lords of the Fallen II outside of a highly competitive holiday period, ensuring the game receives the dedicated attention it deserves.
The team remains fully energized by the strong response to our recent reveals and is deeply focused on delivering a standout dark fantasy action RPG and a worthy successor to the Lords of the Fallen franchise. We are grateful for the continued passion, feedback, and support from our community, and we look forward to sharing more updates in the coming months.
Lords of the Fallen II builds directly on feedback gathered from the 2023 reboot and the more than 70 updates released following its launch. Combat has been redesigned to feel faster and more responsive, with expanded abilities, new execution animations, and more detailed dismemberment systems.
The sequel will also feature a larger variety of environments, biome-specific enemy factions, and more dynamic boss encounters. Shared-progression co-op will be available at launch. The Umbral realm, a defining mechanic of the previous game, will also return with expanded functionality.
