Dropping hot from the forge of CI Games’ Hexworks studio, Lords of the Fallen lands today on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. The title holds the honor of being the first action-RPG powered by Unreal Engine 5. Get ready for a gripping adventure that will send you flipping between two intricate realms: Axiom, the brutal land of the living, and Umbral, the twisted reality of the dead. Your mission? Wipe out a demon god.
The Dual-Realm Dynamic: Axiom and Umbral
Slip into the armor of a Dark Crusader, sworn soldiers of the Church of Orius. Battle through demonic hordes and face-off against cataclysmic bosses in both Axiom and Umbral. The Umbral Lamp, a gear piece with unholy abilities, is your key to hopping between realms. Slice through enemy souls, manipulate the environment, and get a second wind after taking a fatal hit. Staying in Umbral too long, though? Bad idea, fam.
Words from the Studio: The Quest Begins
Hexworks’ Head of Studio, Saul Gascon, is amped about the game’s launch. “The journey of all lampbearers and their epic quest to overcome the demon god Adyr begins! This is the culmination of almost four years of passion, hard work, and determination.” Sounds like the dev team is as hyped as the community.
Key Features Breakdown
- Realm-Switching Exploration: Use the Umbral Lamp for realm-hopping, treasure-hunting, and soul-manipulation.
- Fast-Paced Combat: Master melee and ranged weapon skills, plus arcane abilities, against Adyr’s hellspawn.
- Customize Your Hero: Nine starting character classes to pick from.
- Resurrection Mechanics: You get a second life thanks to the Umbral Lamp, but beware, it’s a double-edged sword.
- Co-Op or Invade: Team up with a buddy in two-player co-op or go head-to-head with invaders from other realms.
Melodic Touch: The Official Soundtrack
Not just a feast for the eyes, Lords of the Fallen has its own official soundtrack to vibe to. In partnership with Laced Records, the 36-track album is up for streaming. Composers Cris Velasco and Knut Avenstroup Haugen, alongside an 80-piece orchestra and choir, bring the game’s world to life through sound.
No cap, Lords of the Fallen is looking like a must-see for action-RPG fans. With its dual-realm mechanics, robust combat, and top-notch visuals, this game is set to carve its name in the genre.
