CI Games has recently discussed Lords of the Fallen 2 again during the company’s latest investor brief on the 2025-28 strategy. We already knew the game would be an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC, and CI Games confirmed it is getting a ‘major investment’ from Epic. Furthermore, CI Games shared some of the high-level improvements that fans can expect from the sequel.
