Lords of the Fallen II delayed to Q1 2027 for gameplay polish

CI Games announced that Lords of the Fallen II is currently scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2027, meaning between January and March. A precise release date has not yet been announced.

The project was initially presented with a debut set for 2026, specifically in autumn. However, on June 23, 2026, CI Games officially communicated a delay to the first quarter of 2027 window. This means that January, February, and March are within the possible launch date range, without specific confirmation for any of the three months.

Lords of the Fallen II: why it matters

According to CI Games, this additional time will be used to integrate and refine improvements identified during game development. The work was also influenced by feedback received from a group of players experienced in the soulslike genre. The company further explained that the delay is due to the desire to avoid overlap with the Christmas period, traditionally characterized by strong competition in the video game sector.

Lords of the Fallen II represents the sequel to the title published in 2023 and promises a new dark fantasy adventure. The game will be built with Unreal Engine 5 and will bring back key elements of exploration, including the lantern and the alternation between the world of the living and the Umbral realm.

The combat system has been designed to be faster and more aggressive than the previous chapter, featuring bloody executions and challenging boss fights. The campaign can be tackled in online co-op with another player, with shared progression of the main story for both participants.

What changes and what are the effects

Supported platforms include PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Regarding the PC version, after the conclusion of the exclusive deal with the Epic Games Store, the game will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games Store. Global physical distribution is handled by PLAION.

For the PC version, the user interface and subtitles in Italian have already been confirmed, while full audio will be available in English. CI Games clarified that the next significant announcement will concern the definitive release date; until then, the reference remains the January-March 2027 window.
