Slice, dice, burn, dual-wield, and dropkick your way through the ruined world to stop the Umbral from claiming what remains.

Lords of the Fallen 2

If it wasn’t enough for CI Games to drop new gameplay for Lords of the Fallen 2 at Summer Game Fest and Nintendo Direct, it has yet another gameplay teaser available. The focus is on one thing only – how admittedly sick the combat looks across a variety of weapon types, including the new katana. Check it out below.

At one point, we see the player unleash a frost wave that freezes an enemy, allowing for follow-up attacks with the weapon. If you prefer something with more reach, a larger blade is available, though we’re yet to see if it has a sick flourish animation as well.

Of course, other weapons exist, from two-handed axes and greatswords to good ‘ol fisticuffs. Weaving magic is highly encouraged, but nothing says that you’re here to protect the last kingdom like a solid dropkick to the face of any enemy. Dual-wielding, another notable new feature, also looks quite fast and fluid.

Lords of the Fallen 2 launches this Fall for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. While an official release date is unconfirmed (a designer’s portfolio seemingly leaked that it’s in August), it will launch on day one for Steam. This is thanks to CI Games exiting its agreement with Epic Games, which would have exclusively handled distribution rights for the PC version.
