Bear witness to the moment below…

“The Lords of the Fallen is the successor fans of the original title have always wanted,” said Cezar
Virtosu, Creative Director of Hexworks. “The game is significantly larger, with a vast, interconnected dual world split between the realms of the living and dead, that players can explore alone or with friends. It's darker and more challenging, with faster soulslike combat, stronger thematic, richer narrative, deeper RPG systems, and more immersive storytelling."
Millennia has passed since the events of the original 2014 hit; the world has plunged into shadow and chaos, as the demon god, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in a thrilling campaign, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, memorable character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of light… or one of darkness?
Explore Two Vast, Parallel Worlds
From the ethereal heights of Skywalk Bridge, to the decrepit depths of the Shuja swamps, carve your own blood-soaked path through two parallel worlds in an epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the tyrannical, demon god. While the living realm presents its own brutal challenges, untold terrors await in the nightmarish realm of the dead.
Wield a Device of Ungodly Power
Lantern-bearer, you possess the ungodly power to cross between the realm of the living… and beyond. Use this dark art to reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even purge the very soul of your foe.
Rise from Death
Fall in the world of the living, and rise again… in the world of the dead. As a Dark Crusader, you now have one final chance to restore your honour and claim what was lost in your living state. However, this is no easy feat, as all manner of hellish creature descends upon you.
Unite or Fight in Online Multiplayer
Adyr’s colossal Lords of Rhogar do not fall easily, but help is at hand for those whose pride permits it. Brave the entire world side-by-side with a loyal companion in uninterrupted, online multiplayer, with fitting rewards for those who complete community quests and events.
