‘Death of the Fallen’: Here’s what you may want to know about Lords of the Fallen sequel

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

The Lords of the Fallen 2023 reboot/sequel captured the attention of Soulslike enthusiasts and critics alike, blending elements from the original 2014 title with Dark Souls' grimdark stylings. Now, whispers in the gaming realm suggest a sequel, tentatively named "Death of the Fallen."

Release Date Uncertainty

While unconfirmed, the success of Lords of the Fallen makes a sequel likely. Gaming researcher Kurakasis leaked information about «Death of the Fallen» on X (formerly Twitter), among other titles. CI Games, the developer, has not officially acknowledged the sequel, but the leak hints at a possible release in 2026. It's advisable to take this information with caution until an official confirmation surfaces.

Gameplay and Setting Predictions

As of now, the existence of «Death of the Fallen» remains unverified. However, if it follows the pattern of its predecessor, the sequel is expected to continue Mournstead's story, picking up from one of the three endings of Lords of the Fallen (2023). The canonical ending will likely dictate the game's setting, with potential variations based on each conclusion.

Anticipate a return to the brutal Soulslike adventure, maintaining the dark tonality and setting introduced in the 2023 reboot, rather than reverting to the high fantasy theme of the 2014 original. The Lords of the Fallen series serves as a spiritual successor to Dark Souls, preserving the tense and claustrophobic gameplay—a departure from Elden Ring's open-world approach.
