No “Hard Stop” Planned for Lords of the Fallen Updates; Dev Calls Studio a “Souls-like Powerhouse”
Released in 2023 CI Games’ post-release support of Lords of the Fallen is nothing short of legendary. Not only has the studio released bug fixes, but even new features and other pieces of new content all for free.
As we near the game’s second year anniversary, the studio isn’t looking to stop supporting the action-RPG, even if its sequel has already been announced, which is something the company confirmed to MP1st.
Lords of the Fallen Won’t Stop Seeing Support in 2025, Promises CI Games
Speaking in an exclusive interview with MP1st, we asked CI Games when they plan to stop supporting the RPG.
MP1st) How does this update (2.0) set the stage for the future of the franchise? Is this where the studio stops, in terms of major updates, to shift focus on working on the next game? Or can we expect a small team to still be working on this while the main team moves to the sequel?
Answering the question was David Valjalo, Creative Portfolio Strategist at CI Games. who shared they don’t plan to stop supporting it this year. Not only that, but Valjalo adds that the current game proves the developers mean business, and can now be considered a “Soulslike powerhouse.”
Valjalo states, “We don’t have a hard stop planned for Lords of the Fallen (2023) – we have plans to keep iterating until the end of the year at least, for example – but of course our focus has shifted to the sequel in terms of priorities. The sequel will take everything great about the current game and expand it, so key studio talent is agile, bringing learnings from the current game into the engine room of the sequel. CI Games is now a Soulslike powerhouse and I think the current game is a sign that we mean business, we won’t make the same mistakes and the next game will be a flag in the sand for Lords of the Fallen as a franchise.”
While it’s commendable that CI Games is still supporting the RPG, can they be classified as a Souls-like powerhouse? Perhaps if Lords of the Fallen 2 knocks it out of the park, that conversation can be had.
In other Lords of the Fallen news, its sequel, which was formally revealed at gamescom, is set to launch sometime in 2026. Not only did we get to see the first trailer for it, but CI Games even outlined some of the action game’s key features.
