See 20 minutes of Lords of the Fallen gameplay with “uninterrupted” co-op

While everyone’s eyes are fixated on Baldur’s Gate 3, there is another massive RPG headed our way. Starfield is less than a month away and players are excited to see what Bethesda is cooking for its players. With the game coming to Xbox Game Pass, quite a few players will try it out amidst the anticipation and hype, and I definitely want to give the game a honest try. Here are the top ten things that we want to see from Starfield.

Lords of the Fallen has continued to look increasingly promising in all that has been showcased of it so far, and Hexworks and CI Games have offered another meaty look at the Soulslike action RPG, courtesy of a gameplay video uploaded by IGN that shows off the game’s opening 13 minutes.

Not too long ago, developer Hexworks confirmed that its upcoming Soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen will feature a 60 FPS option on consoles upon its launch in October. Now, the developer has provided further details on exactly what its performance and resolution targets will be across two graphics modes.

Being a meaty 25-30-hour experience that will encourage replays with multiple endings, the promise of co-op, New Game Plus, and more, Hexworks and CI Games’ upcoming Soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen is clearly not going to be lacking in content, but like with any game these days, that doesn’t mean we won’t get even more of it with post-launch additions.

We have seen the sun! And it was good! It’s going away now though so you can all retreat into the safety of your gaming rooms again. We’ve also been looking at our Gamescom appointments for a couple of week’s time, and things are looking very exciting! You can be sure that we’ll have a ton of coverage from the conference, so that’s something to look forward to as well.

Sometimes it’s best to simply start over and try again, taking all the experience and knowledge from a first attempt and feeding it into a better second effort. Lords of the Fallen is a multi-faceted example of exactly this. The original game’s developers went off to create a different Souls-like series, while publisher CI Games held onto this IP, restarting development multiple times before founding new developer Hexworks in 2020. Despite this being Hexworks’ first game, it feels like a well-rounded and considered effort at a thoroughly modern Souls-like.

Hexworks’ Lords of the Fallen releases in October, offering Dark Souls-like action for action RPG fans. How long can you expect it to last, especially since the world is five times larger than the first game? Speaking to MP1st, studio head Saul Gascon confirmed that it’s around 25 hours for those who know what to do and 30 hours for the uninitiated.

The first time I died in Hexworks' Lords of the Fallen reboot during a preview event last month, I immediately got discouraged, expecting to have to retrace my progress like in other Soulslike games. Instead, my character was taken to Umbral, a parallel world of the dead, where I would find myself trying to escape back to the overworld of Axiom.

After the monumental success of From Software's Dark Souls in 2010, many games sought to follow along with the growing popularity of challenging and stoically designed action RPGs—they came to be known as "soulslikes." One of the earliest soulslikes was 2014's Lords of the Fallen from developer Deck 13. Following a successful launch, publisher CI Games announced a sequel—though that game would take some time to see the light of day.

While it may not be at the top of your “gaming most wanted lists,” Lords Of The Fallen aims to impress you with its dark fantasy RPG world, deep customization, and intense gameplay that will keep you entertained for many hours. The game releases on October 10th, which means the CI Games team will be dropping more details and insight into the title. Sure enough, they went onto the PlayStation Blog and broke down many new places you’ll visit and new gameplay details for you to get excited about. We’ll give you the highlights of their large post.

Today we’re excited to share new details on Lords of the Fallen gameplay. The new info includes visiting Mournstead for the first time, from the harrowing Defiled Sepulchre to the towering heights of Pilgrim’s Perch. Let’s explore the atrocities that plague these lands and await players when it launches on PS5 October 13.

Hexworks’ Lords of the Fallen has received several details lately, whether it’s showcasing the various doomed locations players travel to or the boss battles. We’ve even seen how the uninterrupted co-op shakes out. In a new video from IGN, more details were revealed about Umbral and the Umbral Lamp, the latter serving as a powerful tool in combat.
