Lords of the Fallen Breaks Even After 2.5 Years as CI Games Targets 2026 Sequel

The team plans notable combat changes to establish a clearer identity beyond FromSoftware’s template.

Overview

  • CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski said the 2023 reboot surpassed 2.5 million copies sold by the end of February 2026 and has officially broken even.
  • Breaking even indicates the game has recouped development and marketing costs, so subsequent sales count as profit.
  • The studio previously reported at least 5.5 million players last summer when including subscription downloads, yet it had not reached break-even at that time.
  • Lords of the Fallen 2 is slated to launch later in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • Director James Lowe says the sequel’s combat will evolve in a way he compares to the Batman: Arkham trilogy and aims to avoid feeling like FromSoftware by encouraging more experimentation with builds.
