In exciting news for gamers, CI Games has officially announced that a sequel to the widely popular action role-playing game Lords of Fallen is in the works. Titled "Death of Fallen," this highly anticipated sequel is expected to launch by 2026, as revealed in recently discovered documents by game researcher Kuraksis.

Lords of Fallen achieved remarkable success upon its initial release, with over a million copies sold in a mere 10 days. The game resonated with players seeking a challenging Soulslike experience, prompting speculation of a follow-up title to keep fans engaged.

CI Games' upcoming projects include not only Death of Fallen but also an open-survival game called Gate to Gehenna, a new entry in the Sniper Ghost Warrior series, and Project Scorpio, described as a multiplayer tactical FPS. However, it is Death of Fallen that has captured the greatest attention from the gaming community.

Details about the specifics of Death of Fallen are still scarce, but it has been revealed that Hexworks, the same studio responsible for Lords of Fallen, is leading the development. Furthermore, the game will be built on Unreal Engine 5, the same engine used for the recently released Lords of Fallen installment. The documents uncovered by Kuraksis indicate that Death of Fallen aims to feature "more ambitious gameplay options for wider audience appeal."

While no official statement has been made regarding the platforms on which Death of Fallen will be available, it is expected to launch on PC and the latest generation consoles, in line with industry standards. Fans can look forward to immersing themselves in the atmospheric world of Death of Fallen, leveraging enhanced gameplay mechanics to take on new challenges and adversaries.

With a release date set for 2026, there is still some time to wait before players can dive into the sequel. In the meantime, Hexworks is diligently working to improve and expand the original Lords of Fallen. Prior to the end of 2023, the studio released substantial free content updates, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the possibility of paid downloadable content in the near future.

As fans anxiously await the Death of Fallen, the announcement of its development ensures that CI Games will continue to captivate gamers with their immersive and challenging titles. Stay tuned for further updates on this highly anticipated sequel.
