HexWorks has revealed an extended gameplay presentation for their highly anticipated dark-fantasy action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen. The nearly 18-minute video showcases VO-accompanied gameplay, offering a glimpse into the vast and harrowing environments players will explore in their mission to overthrow Adyr, the demon God. This game is a complete franchise reboot and is scheduled for release on October 13 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The official Steam page for the upcoming reboot of Deck13’s challenging souls-like from 2014 has been updated, allowing players to finally see what they’re in for in this new version. This new version retains the original’s action-RPG structure but features a darker world and art style, more challenging combat, and even detective elements. You can check out the system requirements directly below the extended gameplay presentation.
The gameplay presentation showcases the unique dual-realm mechanic of Lords of the Fallen. Players will navigate not just one but two interconnected worlds: the living realm Axiom and its undead counterpart, Umbral. By using the Umbral Lamp, players can cross over to the parallel world, but doing so consumes one of their two lives. Additionally, when they die in the living realm, they’ll automatically resurrect in the undead realm for one final chance to survive.
The presentation also highlights the uninterrupted co-op feature, where players can invite a friend or a randomly selected player to join their adventure and fight alongside them.
