Overview
- A Game Awards 2025 gameplay trailer confirmed a 2026 release window and showcased dismemberment, new executions, and promises of greater enemy variety and more intricate bosses.
- CEO Marek Tyminski said the sequel will include attractive female characters and revealing armor as part of a fun-first approach over political correctness.
- Tyminski explained that Hexworks operated more autonomously early on, with CI Games fully integrating the studio from late 2024 and reversing earlier decisions such as body type options.
- The team is refining enemy placement, the camera, and the overall Soulslike feel based on player feedback, with a standard genre-style camera planned.
- Alongside the trailer, CI Games released a Lords of the Fallen (2023) update that adds extensive enemy and boss behavior changes and tougher Veteran Mode bosses.
