Lords of the Fallen Version 2.0 Out Now, Brings Enhanced Co-Op, Jump Button, Refined Combat

CI Games has announced that a major new update for Lords of the Fallen, dubbed Version 2.0, is out now. Referring to the update as a Definitive Edition for the game, CI Games has also released a new trailer, which you can check out below. The update is headlined by quite a few new features.

The biggest addition to Lords of the Fallen with its Version 2.0 update is the fact that the game now supports full shared progression when playing in co-op. Available for up to two players at a time, both players part of a co-op campaign will now keep their progress moving forward. Players will also have the option to play standard co-op where the progression isn’t shared, however.

As part of the new shared progression system, players will also be able to support each other in more ways, such as by being able to revive each other when they are downed. They will also be able to get 100 percent vigor and loot in online session. Along with this, the game also supports cross-play through password matchmaking. The new co-op system is available through automatic matchmaking as well as pre-made parties with friends.

To further help the new co-op system, Lords of the Fallen now features a free Friend’s Pass that players can use to play with their friends that don’t already own the game. While a player using the Friend’s Pass will not be able to play the full game solo, they will have access to the full tutorial area in single-player. All progression and loot will also be saved between sessions, and a Friend’s Pass player can also play multiplayer with various friends across different sessions.

The core combat has also gotten more refinements. Building on the changes that were brought in with Version 1.7, the Version 2.0 update brings in improved weapon responsiveness, smoother evasions, and an upgrade to the lock-on mechanic where players will get prompts for Grievous Strike. For more details on all of the changes, check out the full patch notes below.
