Character Creation

Character creation and customization return in Lords of the Fallen II, letting players shape their Lampbearer before setting out. The studio has said the sequel's starting options will offer better variety than the first game.

Starting Classes

Players begin by selecting a starting class that shapes their early playstyle. The studio has said the sequel offers a wider range of starting classes than the first game. Three have been named so far, all of them listed as early unlocks in the Deluxe Edition:

• Relic Dark Crusader

• Crusader

• Dark Enchantress

The listing calls them early unlocks, which implies the three also exist outside the Deluxe Edition, though the studio has not said how they are reached there. How many classes exist in total has not been stated, and no starting stats, gear loadouts or class abilities have been published. Other character designs shown in promotional material remain illustrative and have not been confirmed as selectable.

The armour set shown most often in promotional material is a reworked Dark Crusader, a design the team has said was rebuilt for the sequel. It opens the first gameplay trailer and recurs across the developer videos. A Relic Dark Crusader now appears in the published edition contents as a starting class, so the design is tied to a playable option rather than being decoration alone.

Customizable Modifiers

Customizable game modifiers are a confirmed feature, listed among the sequel's first announced pillars alongside optional player versus player. The developers have said they want the modifiers available on day one, and have suggested saving them for later playthroughs rather than switching everything on for a first run, since doing so produces a different experience from the intended one. Which individual modifiers are offered has not been published, and no separate difficulty setting has been detailed.

Building Your Hero

Customization continues through the player's gear and approach to combat, feeding into the game's flexible builds. The intent is a hero that looks and fights the way the player wants. Edition-specific unlocks are listed on Editions and Platform Features.
