With Lords of the Fallen (LOTF) already confirmed to be a bonafide hit, chances are very high that we’ll see a sequel be in development. Well, apparently this and other games are already in the works at publisher CI Games, as a slew of upcoming projects have been unearthed.

Note that the info below has been plucked from various sources including CI Games’ public presentations, trademarks, job listings and more. However, given that none of these have officially been announced, please treat it with a bag of salt, as a lot of things could change during a game’s development.

• Developed by the same studio (Hexworks)

USPTO trademark filing for Island Gate to Gehenna

Trademarks for possible three variants of a title (ISLAND: GATE TO GEHENNA, GATE TO GEHENNA, and GEHENNA) filed on January 18th 2023

  On August 25, 2023, CI Games terminated the production agreement with Batfields for the production of Project Survive. Now, development is being done by Underdog Studio.
• It was mentioned in 2022 that releasing the game in Early Access is possible, but it’s unknown if it’s still current
• Two Batfields employees stated on their LinkedIn profiles that the game is going to be announced in 2024. However, since that studio is no longer working on the game, it’s unknown if it’s still relevant

Codename: Sniper Ghost Warrior Next

• Developed by Underdog Studio with help of external partner studio

Codename: Project Scorpio
New IP, multiplayer PvE tactical FPS

• New IP

All the in-development titles listed above are said to include a multiplayer component. Furthermore, CI Games filed for a trademark for “Blade of Fate” in 2023, but it was initially filed in 2016 before the release of the mobile game originally titled Lord of the Fallen: Blade of Fate. Since then, CI Games has refiled the trademark in 2019 and in 2023.

Some of the info came from the CI Games Q3 2023 presentation from last month, which you can watch here. In addition to that, some of the other info surfaced via CI Games’ website (1, 2 3), and bankier.pl.

Thanks, Kurakasis!
