It has been quite the journey since our first gameplay tease of Lords of the Fallen at The Game Awards last year. We were overwhelmed by the positive response from players around the world who hungered for more details — today we’re more than willing to meet your craving with new details and an all-new gameplay trailer featuring the lords of metal themselves, Iron Maiden.
The newest trailer will take you deeper into the realm of Mournstead, a world split between the land of the living, and the hellish world of the dead, and the malevolence awaiting those brave enough to step into.
A Dark Fantasy Narrative
One of our main pillars in creating Lords of the Fallen has always been the dark world of Mournstead — we want you to become enveloped and engorged by the dark fantasy narrative, a world dripping with atmosphere and history. To ground this, our religious thematic encompasses both gameplay and narrative, spurring the actions of all the characters involved in the grim events depicted in Lords of the Fallen.
In the opening cinematic you’ll meet one of the three faiths, the Dark Crusaders, who who kneel before the First Luminary Casilium. Just as any religion in Lords of the Fallen, Casilium demands utmost faith from his disciples, none more so than from his war dogs, the self-righteous and indomitable aphotic war priests. Here you can see the reverence they hold for their better, accepting the boon of red sanctifying their future bloodwork in holy accordance of the Orian church.
A Vast, Interconnected World
Right from the beginning, you will soon come to realise that not all is as it seems in Mornstead; As an Umbral revenant, they are trapped between two co-existing but opposite worlds, one of the living, and the other a hellscape of corruption made manifest. The linchpin of this dual existence is the Umbral Lamp, which fuels an array of dark abilities, allowing you to exist with one foot in each world — transition between realms or flay the souls of the living. Mastering these dark powers and peeling away the Umbral layers will take you on a grim and heroic journey of seething conflict and dark revelations.
Explosive Combat
Lords of the Fallen expands on the predecessor with an array of ranged attack options, from spells, bows, crossbows, throwable axes, bombs, javelins, and banners. The combat is also faster and smoother, cut from the same medieval grim fantasy cloth as all the other elements in the game world.
We have made combat feel fluid and intuitive starting from your first playthrough, allowing for an accessible pick and play experience. Those of you who are willing to master the combat system fully can become gods of death in this world, seamlessly switching mid-swings between stances or charge attacks, to utilizing Umbral Lamp abilities on the fly, all without the need to switch weapons.
We can’t wait for you to experience the immersive world we’ve created in Lords of the Fallen when it launches Friday, October 13, 2023, for Xbox Series X|S. You can pre-order the game starting today on the Xbox Store; pre-orders will receive exclusive bronze, silver, and gold armor tincts, as well as in-game bonus items. We’ll have more to share in the coming months, so be sure to stay tuned to our official site and our social media channels — Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube — for the latest news and information about Lords of the Fallen.
