Overview
- CI Games said it finalized a Separation Agreement with Epic Games that ends the multi-year Epic Games Store publishing exclusivity for Lords of the Fallen II, effective April 14, 2026.
- The termination frees the sequel to appear on other PC storefronts, including Steam, but no Steam listing has appeared yet.
- CI Games and Epic will continue to work together on technical and account services, including Unreal Engine, Epic online services, Epic account services, and CI Games’ participation in the Fortnite ecosystem.
- CI Games has not given a public reason for ending the publishing deal and described the Separation Agreement as "conditional in nature," and some outlets have speculated about a buyout or exit payment with no confirmation.
- Investors reacted positively to the disclosure, with CI Games shares rising about 5%, and Lords of the Fallen II remains slated for release on PC and consoles in 2026.
