Lords of the Fallen 2 Gameplay Tease Shows Off Massive Changes to the Umbral Realm
Lords of the Fallen 2 is arriving later this year, and though CI Games is hard at work to make sure it’s ready, they have taken a brief moment to show off some of their progress.
And it’s quite the progress, as Lords of the Fallen 2 is going to feature some massive improvements over the first, with one of the biggest being around the Umbral Realm.
Lifting the Veil Umbral 2.0
In the studio’s latest dev update, titled Episode 9 “Lifting the Veil,” CI Games breaks down some of the biggest changes coming to Lords of the Fallen 2. Specifically around the Umbral Realm, as the studio has taken players’ feedback to heart and has evolved the feature to what they are simply dubbing as “Umbral 2.0.”
Here’s keyhighlights of some of the improvements players can expect:
- A Reimagined Otherworld: Radically different environments, key storytelling moments, and a new tendency to bleed into the mortal realm means that Umbral has never felt more alive and oppressive. A wider variety of biomes gives Umbral a more unique and mysterious character, providing players with more incentive to explore.
- Dread Redefined: Rather than a linear timer that increases the threat level of Umbral, the world is more influenced by player activity, creating a more organic, hostile sense of danger.
- Enemies Reshaped: Discover terrifying new entities lurking within Umbral’s shadows, capable of morphing into even deadlier forms, alongside a vastly expanded array of foes awaiting would-be Lampbearers.
The short teaser (above) shows off some of those very changes, and I do have to say they’re quite noticeable as the Umbral now seems to be its own universe, rather than a pretty basic graphical shift like in the first game.
Lords of the Fallen 2 launches later this year on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
