Rumor: Lords of the Fallen Sequel Details Leaked

Details about a rumored sequel to last year’s Lords of the Fallen have supposedly leaked, with a possible title being one of them.

Hexworks has fine-tuned various Lords of the Fallen aspects with update v1.1.637. Among the highlights are several fixes addressing multiplayer issues, ensuring smoother cooperative and competitive gameplay. These fixes include targeting specific spells and interactions in Crimson Rituals. Issues related to spells like Blessed Reflections, Infernal Hounds, and Seared Soul for invaders have been resolved, ensuring fair and balanced encounters. Additionally, adjustments have been made to automatically adjust values for Crimson Rituals once a matchup has begun, aiming to promote a more equitable PvP experience for Lords of the Fallen players when invading.

On the UI front, Hexworks has addressed various issues, including one with Tincts that allowed players to use the "Apply to all" function even when no Tinct was selected. Visual glitches in Forsaken Fen involving Umbral objects loading in visibly have been rectified, providing a more immersive environment for players. Additionally, hazard volumes have been added to ensure consistency in environmental hazards, such as the small lava pool in front of the Vestige of the Bloody Pilgrim.

Among the miscellaneous fixes, players can expect improvements to menu navigation and to Lords of the Fallen’s robust character creator, addressing an error that wrongly stated "Face Texture" instead of "Fine Tuning," as well as optimizations to boss encounters to reduce hitching and enhance overall gameplay fluidity. Additionally, an issue that caused the Umbral Distortion effects to get reactivated unexpectedly was also rectified.

In January, the Lords of the Fallen publisher laid off 10% of its entire team due to some challenges CI Games was facing. According to its CEO, these were measures aimed at preserving business strength and stability. As players gear up to explore Lords of the Fallen's latest update, Hexworks seems committed to delivering a polished gaming experience.
