Lords of the Fallen II gameplay first look

There's been a new preview of the upcoming Lords of the Fallen II gameplay.

Independent developer CI Games debuted a brand-new trailer - titled ‘The Battle for Thorngar’ - for Lords of the Fallen II  during Summer Game Fest. It lifts the veil further on the game’s intense combat and expansive dark fantasy world, while also confirming the highly anticipated soulslike action-RPG will launch simultaneously on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, as well as the PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles in fall (Australian Spring) 2026.

One of the newly revealed locations is Ysiguen, a sprawling biome partly inspired by Asian mythology, sporting grand pagoda towers twisted by demonic forces, horned courtesans, and defended by Lingao the Souring Storm - a towering, lightning-infused dragon.

Arriving hand in hand with the new region, the trailer also revealed the brand-new katana-based weapon class, delivering one of the community’s most popular requests alongside the previously confirmed addition of scythes. Players also got an expanded look at the new roster of NPCs aiding the player in their crusade against evil, as well as the Lords of Darkness that will undoubtedly stand in their way.

CI Games is aiming to deliver a “bolder, braver, and bloodier” evolution of its flagship franchise with Lords of the Fallen II, building directly upon extensive community feedback from the 2023 title and the lessons learned through more than 70 post-launch updates. The sequel pushes the series further into its signature aggressive combat style with a substantially improved combat system designed to feel faster, more responsive, and more satisfying than ever before, with brutal executions, expanded combat abilities and visceral dismemberments.

Lords of the Fallen II will also feature a richer and more varied world, a significantly expanded enemy roster with biome-specific factions, more dynamic boss encounters, shared-progression co-op available at launch and a more immersive Umbral realm.

As of March 2026, Lords of the Fallen (2023) has sold over 2.5 million copies to date. To celebrate, CI Games is giving all Lords of the Fallen (2023) players the original “Precious Metals Armour Tincts” DLC that was originally only available as a pre-order bonus, allowing players to recolour their ensemble for added customisation. Additionally, both Standard and Deluxe editions of the title are currently on sale on Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5 (Deluxe Edition only) and Xbox Series X|S for up to 75% off. For specific sale details, refer to the official store pages.

Lords of the Fallen II is now available to Wishlist on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by CI Games, the game will be supported by PLAION for global physical distribution and retail sales.
