Lords of the Fallen gets release date, Unreal Engine 5 gameplay trailer and Collector’s Edition

We’ve known about Lords of the Fallen for a while, and that’s not because the game shares a name with a release from the best part of a decade ago. But the newly reworked, highly anticipated, dark-fantasy action-RPG Lords of the Fallen will soon be with us – and today we not only get confirmation of a release date, nor insight via a new trailer, but full details surrounding the various versions – including Collector’s Edition – too. 

So, Lords of the Fallen from HEXWORKS, a CI Games Studio, is a game that promises to provide players on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC the chance to take in a dark-fantasy adventure, one that works action-RPG mechanics as it goes. Running as a spiritual successor to the original titles from 2014, we’ll be seeing launch of Lords of the Fallen (previously known as The Lords of the Fallen) on Friday October 13th 2023.
