Lords of the Fallen 2 to Headline Gamescom Opening Night
Opening Night Live Scheduled for August 19
Marek Tyminski, CEO of developer CI Games, announced via Twitter (X) that the anticipated soulslike sequel will be officially revealed during Gamescom's Opening Night Live on August 19. While the project's development has been public knowledge, this marks the first opportunity for players to see the game in action.
The reveal was teased last week through a cryptic post by veteran host Geoff Keighley, sparking widespread speculation. Many guessed it might relate to a Bloodborne sequel before Tyminski clarified it was Lords of the Fallen 2.
Beyond the announcement, the development team revealed plans for a unique tattoo studio at Gamescom. Their monthly "Lifting the Veil" series explained this creative decision, drawing parallels between body art's permanence and soulslike games' themes of endurance and dedication.
This upcoming title serves as a direct sequel to 2023's Lords of the Fallen reboot, which itself followed the 2014 original bearing the same name.
Lords of the Fallen's Evolution
The 2014 original stood among the first non-FromSoftware attempts at the Soulsborne formula, helping establish the soulslike genre. However, it received mixed reviews and modest scores at launch.
The 2023 reboot proved significantly more successful, surpassing one million copies sold within ten days - a milestone the original took seven months to reach. Despite initial technical issues, the reboot currently holds a 75 Metascore, with many fans considering it essential for genre enthusiasts.
