Publisher CI Games‘ Lords of the Fallen 2 is in the midst of development, though it’s a ways off from release. In a recent investor Q&A, CI Games marketing director Ryan Hill spoke about how the next title, codenamed Project 3, will incorporate player feedback when it comes to gameplay as well as story.

Project 3 will address all core player feedback from Lords of the Fallen (2023) while also doubling down on the features players loved most,” said Hill. “It will take a quality over quantity approach, with greater appeal to a wider addressable market with improved onboarding, a more inviting visual style, and westernized storytelling.”

While it is unclear what Hill means when he refers to the sequel’s storytelling as “westernized”, we can assume that the distinction is with regard to FromSoftware’s titles. They feature more esoteric storytelling methods involving copious amounts of reading, digging through item descriptions and interpreting strange NPC dialogue. Hill might be referring to the idea that the Lords of the Fallen sequel would have more accessible storytelling by comparison.

In the same Q&A, CI Games also revealed that it has no plans on slowing down on the post-launch support for Lords of the Fallen. The company plans to continue releasing updates and bug fixes alongside new content throughout 2025.

With the game currently being on version 1.7, CI Games has stated that it wants to support the game at least until it hits version 2.0. This was thanks in large part to the positive reception received since launch.

Lords of the Fallen was originally released back in 2023 and saw commercial success. The game quickly sold more than 1 million copies in its first month alone, and sales have gone up thanks to the continued support offered by its developers.
