Lords of the Fallen Update 1.048 Released for “Clash of Champions” This May 30

For those who thought that Master of Fate was the last major update for Lords of the Fallen, think again! HexWorks has just released Lords of the Fallen update 1.048 this May 30 on all platforms, and this is another major title update called “Clash of the Champions.”

This brings the ultimate trial of skill into the game, as it introduces two previously unannounced boss rush modes, and of course, these brings rewards to those good enough to complete them. Read on for the full patch notes, and there’s even a new trailer accompanying this major update.

Lords of the Fallen Update 1.048 Patch Notes for May 30:

Accessible through the game’s Vestige checkpoint markers, the Boss Rush modes feature two distinct experiences for players: ‘Echoes of Battle’ and ‘Crucible’. While Echoes of Battle allows players to relive their favourite boss encounters, including Ellianne the Starved, Congregator of Flesh, and Radiant Sentinel, Crucible is a series of six increasingly challenging trials of pre-selected bosses that must be overcome without dying to unlock rewards, including Shrine Currency and exclusive new armour tincts.

Undergo the ultimate challenge in Crucible, where you can choose from pre-selected trials, each offering different bosses to face with differing rewards based on the level of difficulty. As for those who are truly one with Mournstead, we challenge you to take on the Crucible of the Lords. Crucible mode is available after finishing the campaign once, with different crucibles unlocking after meeting certain criteria.

As someone who also thought Master of Fate was the last major update, I’m glad to be proven wrong by the developers. Will they have more surprises in the future? If they do release another surprise content drop, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
