Lords of the Fallen

As the month winds down, rumors of next month’s PlayStation Plus offerings have emerged courtesy of Dealabs’ billbil-kun, and it’s apparently none other than Lords of the Fallen.

No, not the 2014 title but the more recent 2023 successor developed by Hexworks. Reportedly available on April 7th (with the announcement seemingly set for March 31st), it focuses on the Lamp Bearer. Set in the world of Axiom, which is soon to face the tyranny of Adyr, they can use a special lamp to traverse the land of the dead, Umbral.

The goal is to venture across Axiom and cleanse the five beacons put in place to prevent Adyr’s return, battling monsters and corrupted Sentinels along the way. As a Souls-like action RPG, Lords of the Fallen offers the usual – numerous character classes, tons of weapons, and overwhelming bosses. There have been numerous changes and revamps over the years, including Veteran Mode’s tougher enemies and bosses.

With over 2.5 million copies sold as of February 2026, CI Games is focusing on the next title in the series, Lords of the Fallen 2. It’s out this year for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC (via the Epic Games), and takes place centuries later. Alongside improved combat and more build diversity, it also promises to let you chop off all the limbs from enemies. Stay tuned for more details and an official announcement of its predecessor’s addition to PlayStation Plus Essential.
