HEXWORKS Reveals Extended Gameplay for Dark-Fantasy Action RPG
HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, lifts the curtain on twenty minutes of intense VO-accompanied gameplay in an Extended Gameplay Presentation for its forthcoming dark-fantasy action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen. Scheduled for release on Friday 13th October, this game acts as a full reboot for the franchise. It is now available for pre-order on platforms including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
A New Adventure in a Semi-Open World
Set in a vast, semi-open world, the new video reveals a glimpse of the diverse and daunting environments players will traverse on their grand quest to dethrone Adyr, the demon God. Players are free to decide the order in which they explore these interconnected lands. They must not only endure one world in this extensive RPG experience but two, due to the game’s innovative dual realm mechanic.
The Living Realm and Its Undead Counterpart
Along with the living realm, Axiom, exists its undead counterpart, Umbral. Each realm has unique pathways, foes, characters, and treasures. With the Umbral Lamp, players may enter this parallel world; however, this consumes one of their two lives. Dying in the living realm results in a resurrection at the same spot in the undead realm, where they face one last chance to survive against the odds.
Extended Gameplay Presentation Highlights
The Extended Gameplay Presentation delves into the uninterrupted co-op feature, where players can invite others at an in-game rest point (vestige). They have the option to fight with a friend or a randomly selected player who stays as long as desired. A new gameplay addition is the crafting of vestiges at select places, requiring an extremely rare resource.
Enhanced Combat System and More
The presentation further uncovers the fully revised combat system in Lords of the Fallen. Melee, magic, and ranged abilities seamlessly blend together, allowing for incredible combat variety and speed. Players can map up to four additional magic or ranged skills for instant access, enabling endless combos and reducing the need to switch abilities.
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, Microsoft Windows
