Check Out Nearly 20 Minutes Of New Lords Of The Fallen Gameplay

The extended Lords of the Fallen gameplay presentation has been released by Hexworks in conjunction with GI Games. It contains nearly 20 minutes of brand new footage. 

Lords of the Fallen hits PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC this October, and ahead of the game’s release, Hexworks and CI Games are pulling back the curtain on its dark fantasy world and action RPG combat. The gameplay demo gives us a fresh look at Axiom – the realm of the living, in which players have to traverse gothic and harsh environments to beat Adyr the Demon. However, Axiom isn’t the only concern, as players must also fight through Umbral, the realm of the dead. 

Below is the extended Lords of the Fallen gameplay presentation. You can see Axiom and Umbral in action, as well as plenty of Souls-like combat.: 

“The team at Hexworks is thrilled to finally share an extended gameplay presentation and reveal numerous new details of our dark fantasy action RPG,” head of studio Saul Gascon writes in a press release. “We have passionately carved our own path in this increasingly popular genre, and we are particularly excited to see how players will approach the game’s unique dual-world mechanic when it releases this October.” 

CI Games says each area in Lords of the Fallen is “interconnected with at least two others,” meaning your path through Axiom and Umbral could vastly differ from another player’s journey. Using the Umbral Lamp, players can easily move from the Axiom realm to the land of the Dead. You will lose one life, but you can still use the Umbral Lamp to cross between Axiom and the dead. 

In Axiom, you’re transported to Umbral when you die, “automatically resurrected in the exact same spot, albeit in the undead realm, for one final chance to survive,” according to a press release. However, Umbral is the more challenging realm of the two, so survival won’t be easy. 

Today’s presentation also revealed how co-op gameplay in Lords of the Fallen will work. CI Games said that players only need to go to a vestige (a resting spot in the game), select a player to join them in co-op, or a random person. The player can remain as a co-op companion for as long as the two players wish. 

Lords of the Fallen is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC October 13th. 

Lords of the Fallen’s previous title was The Lords of the Fallen. CI Games changed the name from Lords of the Fallen 2 to The Lords of the Fallen. It’s had a rocky development history thus far, but with Hexworks taking over development in 2020, the sequel has begun to shape up, and today’s gameplay presentation is a great indicator of that.
