First Gameplay Glimpse of action-RPG, The Lords of the Fallen
Greetings warriors,
While the Citadel enjoys a rare spell of peace following your triumph over the calamitous Old Gods, our allies from a distant land aren’t so fortunate. We must take up arms and set sail to the vast and treacherous world of The Lords of the Fallen.
Legends tell of your bravery, but the enemies of this land pose your greatest threat yet only the most accomplished warrior can hope to tear down these behemoths. Master fast, fluid combat, with a wide range of devastating weapons and powerful magic, to carve your own bloody path through demonic hordes, undead terrors, and towering bosses.
Watch the new Gameplay Teaser below and wishlist the upcoming dark fantasy action-RPG here.
A Vast, Interconnected World

You are not alone. Encounter a band of mysterious NPCs, all with their own motivations. Some will help light your way through the darkness, while others serve only their own cruel selves and will seek to sew within you wicked seeds of corruption.

Devastating Magic
Embrace the might of the arcane, rain destruction on all who stumble across your path, or call upon protection from a higher power.

BEHOLD! THE LORDS OF THE FALLEN, AN ALL-NEW DARK FANTASY ACTION-RPG, UNVEILED
Greetings Warriors,
With the Old gods vanquished and peace restored to the Citadel, it’s time to blow the dust of your obsidian sword, and set a course for the war-torn world of The Lords of the Fallen - an all-new, dark fantasy action-RPG.
The upcoming title scorched the earth last night when it was unveiled as part of Geoff Keighley’s global gaming event, Opening Night Live. Revealed in the form of a three minute cinematic trailer, it offered viewers their very first glimpse of a world shrouded in shadow and chaos, with narration by the guitar-shredding dungeon master, himself, Joseph Quinn. Bear witness to the moment below…
The Lords of the Fallen introduces an all-new adventure in a vast, interconnected world, more than five times larger than the original game. An expansive RPG experience - filled with compelling characters, colossal boss battles, fast fluid soulslike combat, and rich, immersive narrative - a quest of epic proportions awaits!
Keep scrolling below for more information, or if you’ve already heard enough and are ready to take up arms in the name of all that is good, wishlist here.
“The Lords of the Fallen is the successor fans of the original title have always wanted,” said Cezar Virtosu, Creative Director of Hexworks. “The game is significantly larger, with a vast, interconnected dual world split between the realms of the living and dead, that players can explore alone or with friends. It's darker and more challenging, with faster soulslike combat, stronger thematic, richer narrative, deeper RPG systems, and more immersive storytelling."
Millennia has passed since the events of the original 2014 hit; the world has plunged into shadow and chaos, as the demon god, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in a thrilling campaign, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, memorable character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of light… or one of darkness?
Explore Two Vast, Parallel Worlds
From the ethereal heights of Skywalk Bridge, to the decrepit depths of the Shuja swamps, carve your own blood-soaked path through two parallel worlds in an epic quest to overthrow Adyr, the tyrannical, demon god. While the living realm presents its own brutal challenges, untold terrors await in the nightmarish realm of the dead.
Wield a Device of Ungodly Power
Lantern-bearer, you possess the ungodly power to cross between the realm of the living… and beyond. Use this dark art to reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even purge the very soul of your foe.
Rise from Death
Fall in the world of the living, and rise again… in the world of the dead. As a Dark Crusader, you now have one final chance to restore your honour and claim what was lost in your living state. However, this is no easy feat, as all manner of hellish creature descends upon you.
Unite or Fight in Online Multiplayer
Adyr’s colossal Lords of Rhogar do not fall easily, but help is at hand for those whose pride permits it. Brave the entire world side-by-side with a loyal companion in uninterrupted, online multiplayer, with fitting rewards for those who complete community quests and events. Though such dealings will render one vulnerable to invasions from heroes of other realms. Art thou the hunter… or the hunted?
Master Fast, Challenging Combat
In a land overrun by demons, amid a world plagued by suffering, only those that master the fast challenging combat stand but a hope of survival. Choose from 100s of uniquely brutal weapons, or forgo metal for magic with devastating attacks of the arcane.
Fully Customise and Develop Your Own Character
Fully customise your character’s appearance from a wide array of visual options, before selecting one of nine character classes. Whichever starting path you take, develop your character to your own playstyle by upgrading stats, weapons, armour and spells.
Key Features:
Embark upon two vast, parallel worlds - that of the living… and the dead

Major Free Expansion ‘Depths of the Forgotten’ out NOW! | 50% OFF
Today we’re releasing the major expansion, ‘Depths of the Forgotten’ which adds approximately 30% more content and even more brutally-challenging bosses all for FREE! Packed with a heap of content you’ll discover new locations, bosses and weapons in addition to finding new lore about the history of this world.
For a limited time only slash 50% off Eldest Souls, which now includes the FREE, major expansion, Depths Of The Forgotten. Act fast. Die faster. Buy now
With the Depths of the Forgotten expansion it’s possible to explore what’s behind the door in the Enchanted Forest. As the name suggests, you will be descending far below the Citadel to new and undiscovered areas using a mysterious elevator. These unexplored locations are home to some of the toughest bosses you’re yet to face. Are you up to the challenge?
The Rejected Daughter
The first of three new bosses is a monstrous outcome of mixing human and godly genes into a single being. The Rejected Daughter was Eksyll’s failed hope of a worthy heir. Instead of putting the creature out of her misery, Eksyl decided to keep her locked away, deep within the depths, and the years have not been kind…
Zylad, Lord of Steel
Zylad, Lord of Steel, is a result of his battle-strewn past. Zylad was always a fierce adversary, but thanks to Eksyll’s enhancements, soon gained powers akin to Godhood. Leading the legions that invaded the Citadel, Zylad’s newfound strength caused him to act above his station, eventually leading to his discharge and imprisonment within the Depths.
The Rotten Crown
The corpulent King Otto swore he would not perish alongside his crumbling Kingdom, and sacrificed a great deal to a winged saviour for the gift of eternal salvation. Unfortunately for His Majesty, the supposed Saviour didn't feel like parting ways with his new Royal play-thing and instead locked him away for his own twisted amusement.
New weapons unlocks
Working your way through these areas you’ll find a selection of brand new, unlockable weapons that provide significant buffs and debuffs. For example, ‘The Executioner’ will greatly increase your damage output but it will come at the cost of reduced movement and defense. Choose wisely and unlock all four of them.
Orenai the Watcher
As you journey through the Forgotten Depths you’ll meet a mysterious creature guarding the elevator. This is Orenai the Watcher, a new NPC, and although reluctant to share information he will help you on your journey.
Empire’s Wrath
Finally, there’s a new shard which provides even more options to your already strong arsenal to take on the various bosses. We won’t spoil what you need to do to obtain this but we can guarantee it’s something you’ll need if you want to succeed!

Nominate Eldest Souls for ‘Best Game You Suck At’ In The Steam Awards 2021!
Brave Warriors,
It’s that time of year again - yes, you can now officially vote for the Steam Awards 2021! Based on the many positive reviews you kindly left, it’s safe to say you’re all masochists and ‘happily’ died endlessly in the pursuit of victory.
So we thought, let’s mix things up and instead of sending you into the arena, we’ll enter it ourselves for a change! We’re trying our luck in the category of ‘Best Game you Suck at’ as part of the 2021’s Steam Awards. Worst case scenario: we’ll die and just try again! Right..? So please spare a moment if you can to vote for our hard-as-nails boss rush, Eldest Souls, in this year’s Steam Awards.
As for the few of you yet to embark upon our quest to prevent total world desolation, you can currently get 25% OFF as part of the Steam Autumn Sale!
You’ve arrived just in time. We’ve got 25% off Eldest Souls. That means you can get stuck into the action for the price of a Halloween costume (be honest with yourself, games are far more important than costumes).
It’s not been so long since we launched Eldest Souls - about 3 months. But if you managed to miss all the wonderful words that people said about our creation, here’s a trailer to jog your memory.
If, by chance, you’re able to get both Eldest Souls and a costume this year we'd love to see your Halloween outfits. Head to our twitter to share your spooktacular Dracula, or your white as a sheet ghost get-up. #Halloween
