Hexworks and CI Games are working on a sequel to 2023 action-RPGLords Of The Fallen, itself a sequel to 2014 action-RPG Lords Of The Fallen. It’s slated to launch in 2026. Will the new Lords Of The Fallen also be called Lords Of The Fallen? Will it build on the exciting innovations of Lords Of The Fallen, or will it seek to recapture the nostalgic charms of Lords Of The Fallen? Perhaps in ten years time we’ll do a list feature, “Lords Of The Fallen Games Ranked”, with just one entry. I’m pretty sure that in 10 years time, generative AI plagiarism will have rendered everything interchangeable anyway.
Resident RPS Soulsliker Edders wasn’t especially sold on Lords Of The Fallen,declaringthat “realm-hopping magic can’t keep this Soulslike from getting on your nerves”, but he did rate it higher than Lords Of The Fallen, which Rich Stantonsummarisedas “the game so average it doesn’t want you to play”. CI Games reckon the series has plenty of juice, however – in the report, they describe it as one of “two major evergreen franchises”, adding that the 2023 sequel accounted for 72 percent of company revenue in the first half of 2024.
We have not written much about the Sniper Ghost Warrior series of late, though Alice0 (RPS in peace)did a banger punaboutSniper Ghost Warrior Contractshaving a smaller focus back in 2018. I think the last one I played was a preview build ofSniper Ghost Warrior 3in… 2016? I wasn’t massively enthused, but on the upside, I can at least write about several Sniper Ghost Warrior games at once without feeling like I’m the butt of the joke inWho’s On First.
