‘Lords of the Fallen’ reboot releases brutal gameplay trailer and announces release date

[ad_1]

Lords of the Fallen Set to Release on October 13

The highly anticipated game, Lords of the Fallen, is set to release on October 13 and comes with a gloomy gameplay trailer that unashamedly screams Dark Souls DNA. Studio Hexworks has confirmed that this reboot of the eponymous 2014 souls-like title will release across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. Running on Unreal Engine 5, Lords of the Fallen is described as a spiritual successor that promises an interconnected world that’s ‘five times larger’ than the original game.

The Game’s Odd History

Lords of the Fallen initially had to be renamed to avoid a mix-up with the 2014 version. It was previously called ‘The Lords of the Fallen’ but was then rebranded earlier this year to drop the ‘The’ from its name. It can be confusing for owners of the older game since the publisher is the same.

A Dramatic Opening Screen

The Lords of the Fallen gameplay trailer has a dramatic opening screen that details the premise: “Mournstead has fallen. Its great army decimated by the legions of Adyr, the Demon God.” Just like every souls-like game by FromSoftware, the player is plunged into a tarnished world to fight against all odds and rebuild lost hope and glory in the region.

Strong RPG Foundations

The game features strong RPG foundations, starting with a character builder, followed by a class selection option where you pick from a choice of nine — ranging between Knight, Rogue, and Fire Apprentice. The starting path can gradually evolve into something that perfectly fits your playstyle — via weapon discovery and other levelling options. There isn’t much information on the latter, for now.

Boss Battles and Unique Traveling

The protagonist, The Dark Crusader, accepts the offer to thwart Adyr from the unnamed, gold-faced mighty ruler of Mornstead. “The radiance of Mournstead withers,” he says, presenting us with an odd glove, presumably an artefact that grants special abilities. The Lords of the Fallen trailer then turns into a flashy montage of colossal boss battles, ranging from beasts to fiery warriors. Using the trusty, blue-tinted lantern, players will intermittently travel between two worlds — Axiom the realm of the living, and Umbral the realm of the dead, both posing unique challenges.

Combat and Co-op Features

The combat presented in the Lords of the Fallen trailer appears faster-paced and flashier than the FromSoftware’s catalogue of games — a bit similar to Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty but with a level of heft to our weapons. The game comes with support for online co-op, but just like Dark Souls, heroes from other realms can invade and ruin your day as well.

Conclusion

The new Lords of the Fallen game seems to have a promising future with its advanced features, which are being loved by players who have seen the gameplay trailer and looks like it’s gonna be even better than the prequel. Gamers that enjoy fast-paced combat and intriguing boss fights will find this game satisfying.
