Lords of the Fallen 2 Reveals ‘Provocative’ Female Armor in Influencer-Led Video

The rollout reflects CI Games’ push to reject in-game social agendas in favor of what it says players want.

Overview

  • Hexworks showed five female armor concepts in a 20-minute YouTube video with creator TheBackgroundNPC on Tuesday, ahead of the sequel’s release later this year.
  • The video was sponsored, and the influencer said she gave live input, including slimming Orath’s figure and tweaking the Tlesie Huntress helmet and footwear.
  • The studio framed the look as player-driven with the line “You wanted fierce. You wanted beautiful. You wanted provocative,” which critics said yielded generic, skimpy designs.
  • Wccftech reported the outfits are likely to ship in the final game on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • CI Games leaders have argued against adding social or political agendas to games, and the 2023 release later replaced a neutral body-type choice with a male or female toggle.
