The reception to Lords of the Fallen, a fairly blatant Dark Souls clone, was rather lukewarm, but that hasn't stopped publisher CI Games from giving the series another shot. Lords of the Fallen 2 is in development, and in a statement on its website, the publisher has partnered with a new developer to work on the sequel.
Defiant Studios is a relatively new developer based in New York City, and from what we can tell, this is to be its first commercial game. CI Games of course developed the original title while Bandai Namco published, so it's all change for the next game in the series.
CEO of CI Games, Marek Tymiński, is impressed with the studio so far. "We talked to a number of globally respected studios that had shown a strong interest in making the next LotF, and received several solid pitches. We finally decided to move forward with Defiant because we were impressed with their game concept, production expertise, and the pedigree of their developers."
No more information about the game was made clear, leading us to think that Lords of the Fallen 2 is still very early on in development. Are you happy to hear of a Lords of the Fallen sequel? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The game nobody asked for.
What was so bad about the first one? I love the dark souls series and thought of playing this, but haven't yet based on everyone saying it's bad
I like the atmosphere of the first one but it was just too damn slow and plodding to be enjoyable for me. I don't think it needs to be Devil May Cry speed but I definitely think they need to make combat and movement faster
@Th3solution
you didn't.
some of us however would be interested.
@Elodin The combat and many mechanics are the problem, plus the boss battles are not that good because almost every boss is similar unlike Dark Souls.
@Elodin I enjoyed the game. The atmosphere and combat suited me just fine. At the prices it goes for now, it may be worth taking for a spin.
I swear I tried this game once.
Hopefully, for a new devlopers sake, the game does well.
No thanks. The first game was such a horrible experience.
Never again.
The first one was pretty good imo, like a less polished dark souls lite, I'm looking forward to this one.
I enjoyed the fist one and will definitely consider the sequel. Guess there are a lot of nobodies here.
Eh, not very interested; Dark Souls doesn’t do well as a decent experience.
It was my first Souls-like game and even then I could tell it had its faults I did appreciate the more focused story. The framerate was awful though, and as a result the gameplay didn't feel very tight.
@naruball @jdv95 I stand corrected. Didn’t realize the game had any significant fanbase.
lmao, this game is worst ever i played after i played it for 30 minutes. graphic and gameplay suck so bad
Got the first one via PS Plus probably two years ago now. I played it for about ten minutes and deleted it. Maybe I'll try it again one day.
I had honestly forgotten about the sequel, cool to know it's still in development.
@jdv95 on the contrary I'm pretty OK with it. It's still a long way off but it seems
Reduced to £9.99 after a month
@malbhet ahh that would make it bad. The game would be hard not because of skill just poor game design. Thanks for the info.
@Shellcore ahh I may give it a go then. I do have it already with psplus freebie, but my backlog is lengthy so I wasn't sure if I should add this or not. I will at least give it a shot
@Elodin A play-through isn't all that long. Hope you enjoy it!
