Publisher CI Games has opened up a brand new studio based in both Barcelona and Bucharest to take over development of Lords of the Fallen 2. The team of roughly 25 people is said to include industry veterans, all of which are planning to put out the follow-up to one of the earliest titles to imitate Dark Souls on PlayStation 5. A release date wasn't attached to a press release, but the developer is said to have been working on the project for a long time.
The sequel will shift away from the power fantasy of the original game for a darker take and will also be a lot more challenging in terms of difficulty. Saul Gascon, executive producer at Hexworks, said that the entire studio is passionate about Lords of the Fallen 2. "We've gathered a kickass team of senior developers with a deep fascination for mature fantasy games. The path has been intense, especially with the global lockdown situation, but working shoulder-to-shoulder with Marek and Cezar, we've gathered a great team mostly from our networks. I can't wait to share more information on the studio, and show what we are working on!"

The first is on PsNow. It's good, I really enjoyed it. Solid 7/10. So will keep an eye on this for sure.
The first one was...good. I guess. So I guess it’ll be this emulating Demon Souls?
I never did play the first one, it looked rather uninspired.
I don't remember the first being that popular got it for free on Live and played for 3 hrs and was bored stuff. Unless there is dramatic changes I'll pass on the sequel.
Bought the first one but never got very far. I'm planing on beating it and getting the sequel on ps5 as long as it's not too difficult.
Could never get into the first game really, surprised to see a second one is in the works.
The first one had some good ideas, but the gameplay was clunky, the movement was very slow and the environments too repetitive. If they improve on these aspects is going to be a solid game.
I’m getting really excited for next gen!!!
6 years later and 60 developers later... and it still doesn't really exist. They shafted Deck 13, and have fallen out with every developer they've got in to work on it since. Don't be surprised if in another 6 years we hear about another studio taking forward the vision of LotF2.
I'm interested in any DS clone but I must admit I've not played the first one. I have it on ps+. I'll have to download it over the weekend.
Oh lord, how many DS clones are out there ??? it's like no one is trying to be original
I enjoyed first one for sure but also was very frustrating at times too with level design and all. Overall, solid game and def. looking forward to part 2.! nice one
@SamMR there aren’t that many and there are even less good ones.
