Today, HEXWORKS and CI Games revealed a new roadmap of free content coming before the end of 2023 to the Soulslike game Lords of the Fallen.
Saül Gascon, Head of Studio at HEXWORKS, said in a statement:
We’re incredibly proud of the open relationship we're fostering with our community. We are actively listening to their constructive feedback and working diligently to deliver what we believe, collectively, will elevate Lords of the Fallen even further. Every addition to the game is a labour of love as we strive to push both its and the genre’s boundaries.
Following the successful Halloween-themed 'Season of the Bleak' at the end of October, two further events will take place before the New Year, each bringing fresh content to dark crusaders across Mournstead. The roadmap also includes a regular weekly cadence of updates focusing on bringing further stability, performance optimization, and balancing improvements to the game, including its online cross-play experience.
Multiple new questlines will be added before year's end, with the opportunity to unlock some unique armor sets and weapons (some of which have been co-created with the community themselves during collaborative livestreams). Furthermore, players can look forward to 12 new spells, new finisher attacks, and a whole host of community-requested features, including the recently revealed New Game Plus (NG+) modifier system – a first for the genre and highly anticipated by the Lords of the Fallen community.
Despite a launch that didn't appeal to everyone (our Francesco De Meo only rated the game 6.8 in his review, pointing out its frustrating balance issues), Lords of the Fallen sold over one million units in the first ten days on the market. HEXWORKS and CI Games clearly intend to keep improving the game, with further support to be announced at a later date, according to this latest press release.
