The first first one or the second first one?

The first first one or the second first one?

the second first one, the first one was also a huge letdown

Yeah

I really hated the lamp mechanics

3rd time's a charm?

[roosnam1980]

similar to the previous game they reveal this with a cool trailer but they really need to get rid of the umbral mechanics and focus on level design and combat.
the constant realm changing really disrupts the flow of the game

3rd time's a charm?

Wouldn't it be their fifth attempt? Wasn't The Surge 1 and 2 also by the same devs?

 

[Lux R7]

love it, day one

 

[Darchaos]

The second first one is actually pretty damn great.

 

[Ceadeus]

It looks sick. I'll be buying for sure.

 

[winjer]

Looks pretty good.
Just hope either remove or significantly improve the lamp mechanics.
It the first game, it was just a pointless gimmick.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But after the surge.

There was
lords of the fallen
Lords of the fallen 2
Lords of the fallen
Now lords of the fallen 2

What the hell is going on

 

[winjer]

FFS. This is an Epic Store exclusive on PC. Massive failure....

 

[Well_Of_Souls]

I really enjoyed the second first game - although I wasn't a huge fan of the Umbral lamp thing - so I will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

No. It's a relatively new founded studio, their only developed game is the Lords of the Fallen(2023). You think about Deck13, they developed Lords of the Fallen(2014) and Surge 1-2, Atlas Fallen after that.

No, the timeline is something like this:

• Lords of the Fallen (2014) - Developed by Deck 13, published by CI Games
• Allegedly, a sequel begins development at Deck 13, but something happens and Deck 13 and CI Games part ways
• The Surge (2017) - Developed by Deck 13, published by Focus
• CI Games handles the development of the LotF sequel to Defiant Studios
• The Surge 2 (2019) - Developed by Deck 13, published by Focus
• Once again, something happens between CI Games and Defiant Studios and they part ways, so around 2020 CI establishes the internal studio Hexworks specifically to develop the LotF sequel
• Lords of the Fallen (2023) - Hexworks finally gets the job done, and given all that's happened since the first one the game is not really a sequel but a reboot, so it shares the same name as the original
• Lords of the Fallen II (2026) - Developed by Hexworks

Loved the first game, best souls-like game this gen ... so hope they improve it even more
