Development

Lords of the Fallen II is developed by Hexworks, the studio behind the 2023 game, and published by its parent company CI Games. It is built on Unreal Engine 5 and targets current-generation hardware.

Reveal and Showings

The game was first revealed in 2025 with a cinematic announcement trailer. Its first gameplay arrived later that year, followed in early 2026 by an alpha gameplay showing and a developer roundtable focused on the reworked Umbral realm. A mid-2026 trailer, centered on the battle for Thorngar, narrowed the release to Fall 2026 and revealed the region of Ysiguen.

Team and Direction

The sequel is led by a new game director and creative team, with several leads from the first game having moved on before the reveal. The developers have spoken about respecting the player's time and giving the sequel its own identity rather than simply echoing other soulslikes.

Release and Platforms

Lords of the Fallen II is planned for Fall 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with the studio noting that exact timing depends on the state of development. The PlayStation 5 version supports the enhanced console. After an earlier plan to tie the PC release to a single storefront ended, the PC version is set to launch across multiple storefronts.

Editions and Rating

No editions, pricing, or pre-orders had been announced as of mid-2026. The game is rated for mature, adult audiences for its strong violence and gore.
