NEW Lords of the Fallen Game On The Way! | Everything We Know 

This game wasnt perfect, especially at launch. Luckily, the dev team have listened to all of the feedback and keep updating and adding new content. Now the game is so much fun!

I'm really excited for the next one. They likely learned a lot from LOTF 2023, and hopefully will carry forward what worked and fix what didn't. Loved LOTF 2023, can't wait for more.

Just finished the 2023 release on PS5 and I am deeply satisfied with the experience, I'm saying this as a massive souls fan. It's a little rough around the edges in some regards, but they nailed the souls formula and improved it in some areas with good choices such as the way projectiles are handled. The umbral mechanic worked really well and its really cool. The only thing I felt was missing is more follow-through of NPCs, feels like a lot of them could have had some sort of quest and in reality they barely had anything going on, I specially felt bummed out about progressing the game and defeating mayor bosses with absolutely none of the NPCs reacting or having any new dialog, not even Pieta had anything to say about finding and defeating Judge Cleric... Anyways, overall, loved the game, I had a blast, beautiful art direction, creature design, environments, lighting, sound, music, great gameplay, everything came together really well and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Hopefully this one will be finished when it releases and is actually good...this game had so much potential and a really cool world

I'm glad we're moving forward now that the team has learned about stuff like storage boxes.

I really LOVE LotF, it's such good fun to play coop, that's how me and my bro play the whole thing at launch and it was a blast. Exited and hoping the best for the devs!!!

Awesome, id expect for them to be working on next already, tons of potential and i think it will be quite a bit bigger in terms of gameplay and in growing the series fanbase.

I no longer have a chance to play games like this, but I still love them, so thank you, for your videos. It helps me to "stay in touch" with soulsgames.

I really liked LotF, I'm glad to see that there is continuity for what they are doing, I think their real competition was Lies of P and not so much Spiderman 2 and unfortunately I think it affected given the release window but I'm glad to see that both games have had moderately good sales Although I understand your comments about the main characters, I would like Pieta to survive all this mess, she seemed like a very lovable character who tries to do the unthinkable to help everyone and who unfortunately is destined to have a horrible end :( Great video!

I've got my critiques of the game (mostly with the combat jank, the uber tight spaces, the camera too close to the player and some of the shittier bosses) but it was an overall upgrade to the original Lords of the Fallen. Here's hoping they improve on it even more.

While i didnt love it personally i can definitely see the potential, hopefully they keep the same team and continue to improve and we could see some awesome stuff.

This game was pretty fun for co-op, I also liked that they gave it a lot of post launch support. Though, I wish it had all the extra quests and features at launch. No micro transactions, get what you paid for game, solid 7 out of 10.

Nice video as always, cheers from Germany

I love this game now! I just got this for Christmas 2023! I am all for this!

When this and lies of p were coming out, I hedged my bets on this largely due to the insane visuals / art. The two world system and lamp seemed a technical marvel but yea ultimately I bet wrong. Still really enjoyed this game but Lies of P is damn near a masterpiece, neowiz nailed it

I played LotF about 8 weeks after release, so it had been mostly fixed, but it was one of my favorite games of the year. Definitely looking forward to DLC and a sequel, but 3 years dev time worries me. Ideally they could just release it when its finished, but the shareholders or the board room probably wont let that happen. Having a smooth launch is so important, and these companies act like it doesnt matter. Its weird.

I wonder what the new name will be. I'm thinking the Lords and the fallen

I absolutely love this game, hopefully they add a few dlcs and keep content rolling untill this death of the fallen comes out and when it does ill be a instant purchase for me a month after release so the performance is fixed and not like this game is

Lords of the Fallen WAS AWESOME! I hear its launch was rough but man I just played through it 2 weeks ago and absolutely loved it!

Big fan of this game. It was great on PC and they seemed to really care with all the updates.

Wow allready?? I’m very excited but I’m also skeptical. I loved this game. I hope they learned a lot from the first one

I was extremely disappointed at launch when my Ps5 was dropping down to like 10 fps in some areas. It did get better though with updates and I ended up playing through about 2 months after launch when some of the issues were worked out. I still don’t think it’s close to lies of p. Lies of P was phenomenal from day 1. Had no issues my whole playthrough and boss battles were so much fun

Definitely a lot of potential for this game I'm sure the developers are on the right track, looking forwards to it.

I'm hype. LOTF 2023 wasn't perfect, but it was very fun. If they continue to polish the base formula, I could see it standing shoulder to shoulder with other greats like Nioh 2 and Lies of P.

Watch it still release before GTA VI

I preordered this game and immediately refunded due to issues with it on Xbox. But I picked it up again a month or so afterwards with all the talk about the improvements. I did like the game, but the animations were still a problem for me. I actually liked it better than Lies of P. I’m glad to hear that one of the issues is that it was build in Unreal 4 and then ported it over to Unreal 5. It gives me hope that the sequel will be better.

They should not have released until early 2024 so they weren’t competing against Lies of P. The game was alright but I would rather play Lies of P. That being said they are so different they both have their satisfactions

Tied with Lies of P? Nah. That's like saying Dark Souls 2 is about as good as Dark Souls 1

This game is absolutely awesome! Gameplay wise I never had issues (though I thought the pixel dust clouds were pretty funny at the empryean and the pieta boss fights). Story was great, though I very much wanted the radiant ending to be one where you reestablish the Hallowed Sentinels in their integrity, maybe facing and banishing Orius as the final boss. I’m on a completely different page from you in that I loved the characters and the lore of the Orius organizations (Judge Cleric being my favorite boss) Regardless I’m super excited about the next title! 😆

Can they finish the first one before starting working on a sequel? This game is the biggest disappointment of 2023 for me.

Here's hoping they actually have working co-op

I too did not have no issues with the game launch. Running on a rx 7900 xtx power color at max settings.

thank god, i loved lords of the fallen its personally my 3rd favorite soulslike ive ever played

Some outdated info in the description, "it is set to be released" but it was released

I might have to go back and play another save.

I think this new one will be great, im ecxited to see what they come up with.

LOTF 2023 uses to my knowledge Unreal Engine version 4.27, NOT UE5. First thoughts were while playing I examined goemtry, terrain, etc... no signs of nanite. Second, it's performance was too good for using nanite. Third, didn't see signs of lumen, though didn't use highest settings, more mid to high mix, but lighting didn't behave quite that good. More manually directed than "realisticly" mathed out, but a very valid intentional decision many devs will make even with such system available, ignoring the extreme performance cost they can add, they just might not be what you want. And then while dealing with the game not being able to load up and digging around trying to fix/reinstall/clear cache on my project, I checked for crash reports and while my instant stop on start attempt that kept the game from opening didn't produce any game crash reports, it was producing engine crash reports... that were failing to link to the game report data that wasn't being generated. Still, those did mention the engine version as 4.27. The final version of UE4. Now, for the new game going into UE5... I have concerns... UE5 is NOT the most performant engine version, it is also hardly the most stable. It's got some great features... but also a lot of problems and stuff that might have worked in UE4 no longer working reliably. So when it comes to hoping the new game, made in UE5, will be stable or have fixed bugs on launch... Ya.... No.... I don't buy that at all just because they already made a game in UE4. UE5 is it's own can of worms, and while you CAN in many cases work around them with enough time, they're a whole new set of hidden land mines for developers, and some not so small or easy to work around. Now UE5 is getting more stable somewhat with newer version, 5.3 currently being out is basically usable, still some issues, but not the horror of 5.0 or 5.1, or the ok but for shorter games of 5.2. It's starting to be a bit less buggy, but still has a ways to go. UE5 was a rework of an engine to include new major features and changes and overhauls to systems... it should come as no surpise that that means it involved tons of new features, code for old features, and other changes that added tons of bugs and new quirks. And their first few version were focused on mostly bringing out the rest of these new features they want. Hopefully they'll be focusing more on stability and bug squashing in the new few updates, but we'll see... the problem is such things don't get the news and attention as much as shiny new features like nanite foilage (awesome for the record... but doesn't fix my basic need for a transform node to work so my overlap volumes in my level aren't weirdly skewed in size, shape, and, location when my level tries to set up it's borders and event volumes). EDIT: and for LOTF 2023, overall pretty great game... amazing world and atmosphere, and exploration... beat out Lies of P thanks to that since general fighting and exploring is 90% of your gameplay experience, bosses maybe 10%, so lies of P had... mixed, but on average better bosses, but it's general open world was quite lacking and overly linear I fealt. No real great set pieces visually that stood out, or such either. LOTF nailed this area though, that I quite like from a good souls game. EXPLORATION! Bosses, and balance was all over the place in LOTF 2023 though... some good, some bad.... but my biggest problem with it was the bugs. Performance was mostly ok for me, but... input bugs were a real killer, literally. First playthrough I could mostly just face tank through issues so annoying but not too bad... but second or third? So many one shot moves out now, no allowed failures or mistakes.... so when the inputs and queueing system fail, it hurt bad. When the camera/lock on, and evasion systems are just poorly designed... it hurt bad, and when the collisions occasionly bug... it's not fun, but still not too huge. But having inputs get ignores, or sometimes extra copies queued in from a single tap... that gets you killed when youre stuck making extra attacks. Or when the dodge system ignores the direction you want to dodge... and instead of going backwards... throws you to the left around the enemy off a cliff, or into the fire you were wanting to dodge away from... Simple input/control issues were and are my main issue with the game. I majorly hope they fix these, both the bugs, and the design, in the next one. Even if they don't, I'd still probably enjoy it more than not if they make it as beautiful and interesting to explore as this one, but that's the thing that for me separates LOTF 2023 from being like DS3, and keeps it down more like DS2, the basic bugs and issues like that. Oh, and the game not even being able to be opened and played after an update, till I both reinstalled the game, cleared it's cache, and THEN restarted my computer before trying to open it after doing that. Not being able to play at all for a few days is... quite the issue as well after all.

This game was my entry into death, and for that I am glad Took my time, possibly got a bit OP, and had a blast doing it. Boss fights were honestly pretty mild, with Pieta probably giving me the most issues, and I’m gonna put that down to being a brand new Souls-like player. I’m now playing Dark Souls 3, and I gotta say, it’s MUCH more difficult (regular enemies, first 2 bosses have been easy). But maybe it’s also because I am now learning new timing windows, and am playing a DEX build instead of a pure strength (my LofF character after 68 hours was level 134, 85/52/33 STR/VIT/END with a +10 great sword)

Isn't Lords of the Fallen (2023) rumored to have expansions in the works?

A million people got duped in the first month, nice

In Terms of Bossfights LotF doesnt even come close to LoP.

I do want to see another game from them, But Lies of P hit different i think overall Lies of P understood the what makes a great souls game more

Super excited about this update, hope we get a DLC this year tho!! By far my best soulslike ever. I didnt experience any bugs so for me it was damn near almost a fromsoft game.

Your Elden ring lore videos have been amazing though bro idc about lords of the fallen at all though when dlc drop we gonna eat so good

I'll buy that new LOTF game when it release pre-ordered.

They need to release a dlc that comes out smooth with no bullshit before they even try a sequel. It took me a whole week to beat the first boss in lotf cuz the frame rate kept dropping so low that I kept dying by the time the game caught up. Very frustrating I ended up beating it and it was good not great but still a good enough game. Never replayed it tho and most souls games I play multiple times

Can someone explain to me why the people who are Lies of P fans are so vehemently opposed to Lords?

honestly i hope they remove the lamp and improve bosses is really the only thing i hope happens

I loved how the main character from the last game is now a lamp bearer called the iron wayfarer. When i figure it out i thought it was an amazing detail..

I feel like sequels also have the caveat of improving sales of the original. People love playing older versions of games and comparing them to sequels. Dark Souls itself has so much discourse surrounding that. See what’s different and what’s improved.

Wow a sequel before the first is even fixed? Interesting

Let’s hope they get it right the third time

If they will make harder boss fights and fix the camera, ill enjoy it

To early for another game I want to play LOTF but it still has more issues unfortunately and to be finished

I love souls likes, shoul I play lords of the fallen? the most reviews were negative thsts why i dont played it.

I really enjoyed my time playing this game! My 1080 didn't like it. Have a 4070 now wondering how it would fair now or if it would still be kind of stuttery! That was the main issue I had it was a stuttery mess

Lotf isn't even finished yet

Lets go, my most played game of last year

Less of the SOTFS mobs and it'll be perfect. Loved the Atmosphere, umbral system, and weight of the combat, but it got really grindy

Honestly if it's not a sequel it's probably going to still be an amazing game regardless.

Zio, they must be paying all your bills with the way you keep glazing this game and studio.

Easily one of my favorite games of 2023. The umbral concept was so awesome to me and the music and themes in this game were amazing.

They need to finish polishing their current game first

I’m worried they’re making a sequel, they should have created a new IP the world of Mournstead is more similar to warhammer than dark souls and is not a bad thing, but the atmosphere didn’t give you a moment of brake from the bleak

As exciting as a sequel sounds, I’d really love to see dlc for this game in the form of a new area with new bosses.

Thanks again you guys save my work day

Bro they just released one 😂💀 are they gonna keep cranking these out

I regret buying the game at 70 dollars but igot my moneys worth thats for sure lol

i personaly loved the game besides its issues and will gladly buy the next installment :) but what annoyed me was the samy attack animations through all the weapon classes, the very bad online connection/pvp balance and hitboxes.

Hell yea! I loved this game. Screw everyone who didn’t give it a chance. It was very fun.

This was one of my favorite games of the year and I'm actually still playing!! I'll be there day 1 for a sequel.

Good game but too much strange behaving enemies

More LotF content, please!

This game should've sold around 3 million. It's excellent! Especially after all the updates.

The newqual really disappointed me. If they take what they learned, actually optimized the game, and made something new i think it has a lot of potential. It sucks how the game failed in so many ways. I was really looking forward to it

Lof needs work im hoping they learn from the weak spot in Lof for the next project.

I really enjoyed this game. It has its own style. It did bite a bit too much as in packing too much into it, like it overloaded it, but I really really enjoyed this. It felt like DarknSouls 3 to me. I am on NG+1 @ lvl 187 Thanks for covering this Zio!! Much obliged man

On a 6900xt it runs like complete ass. Like I haven't had a game run that bad that I actually completed in my entire life. The fact that I struggled through constant crashes and dogcrap framerates is a sign that the game was pretty good, in theory. If they want me to buy the next one they are gonna have to somehow convince me that the game is optimized for more than one GPU lol.

I wonder if their project "3" will also be called Lords of the Fallen (202x) Lol.

If they learned from the mistakes of the first game then this game will be amazing

I got 70 hours on PC…. Once I got to new game plus the game started to get really stale… same thing with DS2. It just felt tedious

Need it to be open world

Though the devs do need to focus more on console performance, it isn't true that console gamers are a majority of the market. Many estimates vary wildly, with PC gamers conservatively accounting for around 20% more of the market, to active Steam users alone averaging around 4x that of the entire console market. You could probably pick apart those estimates a lot, but I couldn't find any sources that reliably, or even unreliably, claim consoles are the majority anymore. If a company has limited time and budget constraints from its publisher (and they often do), that's probably why we keep seeing consoles getting the short end of the stick. Publishers are generally the problem.

Eh I personally preferred Lies of P. But to each their own.

Great game but the bosses were too easy and I'm terrible at souls games. I did really like the hidden move sets on some weapons that required certain requirements to be met to be used though.

Personally I don’t think it was Lies of P’s great performance that made people praise it over LotF, I think it’s just a FAR superior game honestly in pretty much every way (except non-linear exploration)

I was a big fan originally of lords but playing it recently has made me very....displeased. theres nothing to do, and the patched only fan the flames of the issues. I really just...dont care for it anymore. This coming from someone who loved it to begin with. Ive sinced changed my mind

Why?.. they never finished the first 2?.. 🤔

Its funny how lords of the fallen has seemingless coop and boss movesets but elden ring didn't

I absolutely love the game play on PS5 and have had a few issues but nothing major, hoping for some DLC in meantime and great news that they are making more imo.

Worst decepttion of 2023😢😢😢

I was excited about buying this game, but the reviews on it were really bad, so I never bought it. I play on ps5 as well, so if it isn't that good on console, then my decision not to buy was the correct one.

I'm hoping the next game will be more open world, ala Elden Ring. I'm still loving this game, even with all it's little quirks, and the devs have really put their hearts into this. They've fixed most of the bugs and glitches and you can tell that they know what they're doing, and that they care about the players.

It was a huge improvement on the first one, though I have a high tolerance for jank, here’s hoping the next one is even better. They also REALLY need to calm down with the “quests”, like every update they release new stuff with patches it’s behind a “quest” just give us the stuff man

Consoles do not in fact make up the majority of the gaming market. It is actually PC, worldwide.

The game only suffers from unbalanced PvP really just hope the next one is better cuz it’s pretty good

LoF is getting a sequel before we get Elden Ring dlc 😆

I really hope they learned from their mistakes with this release and put out a game that’s actually worth $80 right out of the gate instead of having to wait for constant patches to make playing it tolerable. I beat LOTF and I actually enjoyed the game but it was a struggle at times having frames drop or freeze in mid boss fights. Hopefully, they’ve learned to balance NG+, no gank fests on every level, better storytelling and characters, and less convoluted side quests.

so awesome. incredible game and it's a real shame it doesn't get all the praise it deserves. I love this fucking game. it serves as a Bloodborne 2 for me, more than Lies of P imo. I'm halfway through Lies now and I do like LotF much more. especially with all the constant updates. the devs are doing a great job.

Why do they need a sequel? Create a new IP! I for sure will not purchase this game until it is either free or less than 20 bucks.
