Lords of the Fallen to Continue Receiving Updates in 2025 Up to Version 2.0
[summaraize]
In the last two months of 2024, we were pleasantly surprised at how frequently HexWorks has updated Lords of the Fallen. These weren’t just simple bug fixes but even introduced gameplay adjustments that made it easier for newcomers and veterans.
If you thought that was the end of the game’s post-launch support, you’ll be glad to know that the studio has confirmed Lords of the Fallen will continue to receive updates throughout 2025.
This was confirmed by executives at CI Games — publisher of Lords of the Fallen. In a conversation with investors, Tom O’Connor, Senior Vice President of Development, was asked what CI Games’ business plan is for 2025.
Lords of the Fallen Will Get Patches Throughout 2025
O’Connor mentioned, “To continue maximising sales of Lords of the Fallen 2023 in line with strategic markdowns and the continued release of meaningful updates up to v2.0 in response to player feedback and external user testing.”
Continuing, O’Connor also went in detail regarding the company’s future projects, stating, “With regards to our titles in development – we have Project 3 in full production, the next instalment in the Lords of the Fallen franchise and during this year will have extensive player testing to ensure we achieve high-quality and maximise the games potential.”
“Both SGW Evolved and Project H are in pre-production, and we are closing in on the vision for these titles, with more details to follow at a later date,” O’Connor ended.
Another question was asked whether Lords of the Fallen will see free DLC, events “to further build positive sentiment towards the game and improve overall ratings on Steam? Which should translate into better sales in the long run.”
This question was answered by Ryan Hill, Marketing Director at CI Games. “To date, we have released a considerable number of post-launch updates and content drops for Lords of the Fallen, and have observed the direct results by doing so; the recent Steam User Score has been gradually increasing throughout 2024, reaching an all-time high of 80 (very positive) in December. We also track online sentiment using the Player XP audience sentiment tool; this clearly illustrates a strong ongoing increase in audience sentiment around the LOTF franchise across the online gaming landscape throughout 2024. As a result, we will continue with this strategy in 2025 with a robust content roadmap planned for Q1 with the releases of v1.8, v1.9 and v2.0, all of which will bring meaningful improvements to LOTF based on community feedback and external player testing. It is integral that we continue to increase the franchise sentiment ahead of the release of Project 3,” Hill stated.
This is definitely good news for those still playing the Souls-like action-RPG. Even if CI Games has publicly announced that the sequel is already in production and planned for release sometime in 2026, that hasn’t seem to affected Lords of the Fallen’s support at all.
Lords of the Fallen’s sequel will reportedly be titled Death of the Fallen according to a report we published last year.
