Publisher CI Games has revealed that work on a sequel to Lords of the Fallen has already begun, and the game will feature a more “westernised” story than its predecessor. In a recent investor Q&A, CI Games marketing director Ryan Hill spoke about how the next title, currently codenamed Project 3, will incorporate player feedback when it comes to gameplay as well as story.
“Project 3 will address all core player feedback from Lords of the Fallen (2023) while also doubling down on the features players loved most,” said Hill. “It will take a quality over quantity approach, with greater appeal to a wider addressable market with improved onboarding, a more inviting visual style, and westernised storytelling.”
While it is unclear what Hill means when he refers to the sequel’s storytelling to be “westernised”, we can assume that the distinction is with regards to FromSoftware’s titles, which feature more esoteric storytelling methods involving copious amounts of reading, digging through item descriptions and interpreting strange NPC dialogue. Hill might be referring to the idea that the Lords of the Fallen sequel might end up having cutscenes with more accessible storytelling.
In the same Q&A, CI Games also revealed that it has no plans on slowing down on the post-launch support for Lords of the Fallen. In fact, the company plans on continuing releasing not only updates and bug fixes, but new content as well throughout 2025. With the game currently being on version 1.7, CI Games has stated that it wants to support the game at least until it hits version 2.0.
Hill stated that this was thanks in large part to the positive reception the game got for its several updates since the game’s launch. Since this long-term support has led to positive feedback from players, the company plans on continuing its support of the game.
Lords of the Fallen was originally released back in 2023, and saw critical and commercial success. The game quickly sold more than 1 million copies in its first month alone, and sales have gone up thanks to the continued support offered by its developers.
