Lords of the Fallen 2 is in full production and will be announced in 2025
The sequel to Lords of the Fallen is currently in development, with a release on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series S/X expected in 2026. The game, known internally as “Project III,” does not yet have an official title, but a publisher CI Games has shared new details about the sequel. Lords of the Fallen 2 is in full production and will be revealed next year. The action RPG is still targeting a 2026 launch.
Lords of the Fallen sequel
In one financial report CI Games outlined its strategy and roadmap for the years 2025-2028, shedding more light on the sequel to Lords of the Fallen, along with the slate of games planned for the next three years. According to the publisher, Project III, the “next big installment in the LOTF franchise,” is in full production at developer Hexworks. Just like Lords of the Fallen (2023), the sequel is built on Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5.
CI Games believes that Lords of the Fallen 2 will have “greater appeal and accessibility to both existing and broader audiences.” In the report, the publisher also said that the Soulslike title will feature gameplay improvements such as increased game mode capabilities, a more commercial art style and story, and higher production values.
Additionally, Lords of the Fallen 2 will feature “full co-op with shared progression in addition to the core single-player campaign.”
The game will be announced in 2025, “with a marketing campaign that leverages strong brand awareness following significant marketing spend on Lords 23 and a growing install base,” the publisher confirmed. Lords of the Fallen 2 will launch sometime in 2026.
As confirmed in June, the game will release exclusively on the Epic Games Store on PC, as part of a deal with Epic Games, which grants the Fortnite maker “exclusive global distribution rights” to the sequel on PC. In its latest financial report, CI Games said it had received “major investments” from Epic for PC exclusivity.
Other projects in development
In addition to the sequel to Lords of the Fallen, the publisher is also working on two other games, which are currently in pre-production and will be launched in 2028. The first of these is “Project SGW Evolved”, the next installment in Sniper: Ghost Warrior franchise, also built on Unreal Engine 5. The game combines first-person shooting with the survival genre and is scheduled to launch in 2027.
The second is “Project H”, a “major action RPG IP” within the fantasy genre that is in development at Underdog studio. The game will be developed in Unreal Engine 5 and will utilize systems and architecture from Lords of the Fallen and Project III. H is aiming for a 2028 release.
The 2023 Lords of the Fallen reboot was released in October 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC, via both Steam and Epic Games Store.
