Development of Lords of the Fallen 2 has been extremely troubled. The game was supposed to be released back in 2017. The game was being developed by Defiant Studios, but it seems like the team is no longer working on it.
A few days ago, CI Games confirmed that Defiant Studios is no longer working on Lords of the Fallen 2 due to quality issues. The game, however, is still in development, as CI Games has shifted to in-house development.
Defiant Studios' founder and managing director David Grijns talked about the matter with Eurogamer, saying that the studio strongly disagrees with CI Games portrayal of the team's work.
The team that was working on CI Games' project was comprised of exceedingly talented developers whose work we fully stand behind. Our team knows how to build quality games as is evident by their key roles in Just Cause 3, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Far Cry 5, Devil May Cry (DmC) and many other top tier projects
As we intend to abide by our contractual confidentiality obligations, at this time we cannot expand further on this matter
Lords of the Fallen 2 is currently in development for PC and consoles. A final release date has yet to be confirmed.
