Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks released a new trailer for action RPG The Lords of the Fallen at Epic Games‘ “State of Unreal” presentation at Game Developers Conference 2023 showcasing its technical achievements.

Even though the outfits looked like they were yanked straight out of From Soft's library, I must say that this game is looking pretty damn impressive.

 

[Fredrik]

Oh wow this looks nuts

 

[Lokaum D+]

the first game was damn impressive too, but played like shit, lets see if they got the combat right this time

 

[semiconscious]

i only wish my average-to-below-average eyesight enabled me to more deeply appreciate all this elaborate detail... nah, not really...

 

[Hobbygaming]

This looks really good so far. I hope the combat looks good too

 

[FoxMcChief]

Very much looking forward to this

 

[Bartski]

best looking soulslike on the horizon, if gameplay and rpg systems are up to snuff this could be great

 

[FalsettoVibe]

This looks really really good.

 

[Hunnybun]

Superb visuals. I wonder how it'll actually run on consoles, bit otherwise it's the best looking game I've seen yet.

 

[Caio]

Holy crap, this looks insane, and the art design, so beautiful.

 

[GymWolf]

Straight fire.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Let's see how the gameplay and combat is before we start sucking each others dicks.

 

[-Zelda-]

Another soulslike? No thanks.

 

[balls of snow]

Damn good. Lets see if current gen can run that without a hitch.

 

[Kataploom]

Look great, but will have to wait for confirmation the the camera wobbling won't make me motion sick before purchase

 

[SJRB]

Hexworks: "Hey can I copy your homework?"

From Software: "Sure just change it up a bit so it doesn't look obvious that you copied it"

Hexworks: "Sure thing"

 

[GHG]

Looks far better than I expected. Hopefully the full game ends up looking like this.

 

[abstract alien]

Looks nice at 60fps. Hopefully it still has some heft to the combat like the first one.

 

[GymWolf]

The second armour when the camera is on his back looks like dante's inferno armour, the head part mostly.

 

[GymWolf]

Looks nice at 60fps. Hopefully it still has some heft to the combat like the first one.

Yeah, one of the few good things in the first one was some heavyness in the hits if i remember well.

And the graphic, the game still look pretty good on pc (probably better than elden ring)

 

[Kurotri]

So stoked for this game

 

[j0hnnix]

omg, i really didnt like LOTF, still annoys me to play it. Went back to it when this once announced. This just looks amazing.

I dont want to get it but that BB looking character... got me..

 

[Meicyn]

Cautiously optimistic, if they have the gameplay nailed, we have a serious contender.

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

Is this actually a sequel to LoTF 2014, or a spiritual successor by a different dev?

Either way, why would they just give it the exact same name? I don't get it or how it's connected to the prequel.

 

[mansoor1980]

looks awesome

 

[Fart Knight]

INSANE IN THE BRAIN!

 

[Fools idol]

Lets just hope the game play is actually good this time around

 

[The Cockatrice]

Well considering we barely get games, I can see why people are impressed by basically nothing. Yeah great textures and lighting is certainly going to make the game amazing amirite?

 

[Rush2112]

you see how good the graphics are? The gameplay will be the exact opposite.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Wow, I hope the combat is good

But the visuals..

UE5 finally coming in, so late in gen.

 

[kyussman]

These devs are fucking shameless.....Miyazaki should consult his lawyers,lol.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Can I see actual gameplay with the actual UI? Thanks.

So far it looks like Dark Souls copycat #5675.

Then again so was the original.

 

[tusharngf]

looks great in ue5.

 

[Elder Legend]

Can't wait to play this! Also, in before some fuckwit tells everyone this is CGI and not gameplay.

I could be wrong, but I think it's more of a series reboot. They finally have more budget and better tech to make what they wanted. Original Lord's of the Fallen was a bit more colorful, this seems more grounded and more believable.

 

[lh032]

all i see is 30fps on console.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Wow.....erm.....that looks crazy good....like demons souls on steroids...Holy shit!

 

[fart town usa]

Looks dope but not getting my hopes up. Just gonna wait for it to release and hope that it'll be worth buying.

Mostly interested in dat coop boyeeeeee.

 

[Saber]

No offense but this game scream way too much Elden Ring. Hope its not just some visual candy.

 

[Madserb2023]

Amazing amount of detail. There is a 99% probability that this will be 30fps only on consoles.

 

[Denton]

Shame to see so much obvious talent wasted on yet another fucking soulslike, but at least there will be an example of how these games can look when not done by Fromsoft and their ancient engine.

 

[Lux R7]

Woah, can't wait to play this

Afaik these are not the same devs

 

[TrebleShot]

I see a lot of 30’fps on console and whilst I think it probably will be unless we get a 1080 60 mode you’ll need one hell of a rig to play this at 4k60 locked.

 

[Elder Legend]

Afaik these are not the same devs

That is incorrect. Here is the official description from the steam page -

"Lords of the Fallen introduces an all-new, epic RPG adventure in a vast, interconnected world more than five times larger than the original game.

After an age of the cruellest tyranny, the demon God, Adyr, was finally defeated. But Gods… do not fall forever. Now, aeons later, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in this expansive RPG experience, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of light… or one of darkness?"

It's also same dev - CI Games. https://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=CI Games

If you scroll all way down on that page you'll see Lords of the Fallen 2023.

 

[Thief1987]

Right. First game developed by Deck13. This game is in development by a new studio formed in 2020.

fine, i meant these are different people, a different team.
i think the old devs are the ones making Atlas Fallen.

 

[RoboFu]

Didn’t like the first one at all so I’m going to wait until after release on this one to see if it’s really just more of the same.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Shame to see so much obvious talent wasted on yet another fucking soulslike, but at least there will be an example of how these games can look when not done by Fromsoft and their ancient engine.

Technically we already saw that with Demon Souls Remake and I was quite impressed with it, visually. The UI design sucked tho.
