The sequel to Lords of the Fallen is officially in development, with a Sniper Ghost Warrior installment on the way as well
Developer and publisher CI Games’ latest financial report reveals some interesting tidbits about the company’s upcoming titles. Some of the biggest takeaways include the fact that there is development on the next Lords of the fallen A payment is in progress, in addition to a new one Sniper Ghost Warrior game.
As detailed in the long reportthe company plans to release a major game in each of the next three years. This includes the “next big episode” in the Lords of the fallen series, currently called “Project III”. The project is in full production at developer Hexworks and is expected to be announced in 2025 with release to follow in 2026.
We also know that the company is aiming for “greater appeal and accessibility” with “increased production values” and full co-op play in this title. The game will also receive a “major investment” from Epic Games, in exchange for PC exclusivity on the Epic Games Store.
A new one Sniper Ghost Warrior game is also coming. The title is known as “Project SGW Evolved” and is currently in pre-production stages at both CI Games and an unknown partner studio. It will be built on Unreal Engine 5 and will introduce ‘survival genre elements’ to the shooter franchise. It is currently targeting a 2027 release.
Finally, there is the mysterious “Project H”. This is a brand new “major action RPG IP” within the fantasy genre. Details are very scarce at the moment, but it is in pre-production stages at developer Underdog Studio using Unreal Engine 5 and is targeting a 2028 release.
Overall, it seems like a pretty varied and well-rounded set of games. It’s probably a little too early to get really excited, but we were big fans of the latter Lords of the fallen entry. Hardware editor Rhys Wood labeled it “an expertly crafted soulslike with innovative mechanics” and awarded it a brilliant four out of five stars in our Lords of the fallen review when it was released last October. It’s also currently on our list of the best soul-style games.
