Lords of the Fallen publisher CI Games has confirmed the 2026 sequel has entered full development while revealing a handful of details about the action role-playing game. Eurogamer spotted the tidbits in CI Games' latest financial report , where the publisher revealed Lords of the Fallen 2 (for lack of an official name) will have a "more commercial" art style and narrative, suggesting it wants the game to have more mainstream appeal. CI Games also promised gameplay improvements, more game mode options, and full "shared-progression" co-op alongside the "core" single-player campaign, all developed with "elevated production values" fueled by Unreal Engine 5.
