Lords of the Fallen publisher CI Games is gearing up to release a sequel in 2026.
The announcement comes from a filing from CI Games, shared by Polish site Bankier, which also confirms Epic will have the exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the sequel on PC.
Elsewhere, the rights to publish and distribute the game worldwide "on all other platforms, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms for which the game is currently in development, will remain with the company".
Remember Lords of the Fallen? No, not that one. This one. Last year’s reboot of the 2014 game of exactly the same name - despite the successor originally being a numbered sequel, then at least having a ‘The’ at the start of its title to help tell them apart a little - will now get its own follow-up in a third Lords of the Fallen game. The upcoming sequel doesn’t have a name yet, but I really hope they stick with the bit and just call it “Lords of the Fallen” again.

Longtime readers of this site will be aware of my verdicts; Garbage, Not Recommended, Your Mileage May Vary, Recommended and Must Play. But there is a sixth verdict, that in roughly 400 reviews, I have given a grand total of three times: Hilariously Awful. These are for games so inept I can’t hate them. The honorees are: Mini Kart Racing, Martial Knight and Flannel Amethyst. Now a fourth has entered the area, Counter Force Tactical Warfare. It is a shooter so inept, I played it for over an hour! Buckle up, because this will be a longer one!
I’ll start off with a video of Counter Force Tactical Warfare, to give you an idea of what you are dealing with. It’s level twenty-three, nine enemies, and auto-shoot on. Yes, the game plays itself. Once you get your enemy in the cross-hairs, it will fire. You can turn it off, but it doesn’t make the game any easier than it already is. And yes, they all stand in a line and shoot at you(more on that later).
Now, you’ll notice you have two health bars armor and HP. Armor does not work in Counter Force Tactical Warfare, as getting hit only drains HP. You do have limited ammo, but you’ll never run out as the levels are incredibly short, literally taking around twenty seconds each. The first took five seconds. I was shocked it was over so fast. Up at the top, you have your money which are used to buy guns, These guns:
There are several lovely weapons in Counter Force Tactical Warfare, but none of them matter, the starting Ak-47 gets the job done. This because the enemies are all one hit kills. They also don’t put much of a threat as they all run directly at all you and shoot. They’ll even nicely clump together for easy killing. If you’re missing one, just look at the radar, you’ll find them.
Counter Force Tactical Warfare takes itself so seriously, with its grand menu music, to the announcers, to the jingle when you win. But its completely inept. The in-level “music” is just gun fire in the background. In one level, you can see the seams in the sky box. Or you can take the barrel that clips through everything:
Or the health pack dangling in the air:
Demenci tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, they fell flat on their faces. They wanted to create something special, they just lacked the collective talent to see it pulled off. I mean this game could have been far worse than it is. Imagine no jingle at all. Imagine no auto-shoot. There could have improved ever so slightly that it was no longer a Hilariously Awful, but just plain Garbage. That’s how much of a fine line it is. So step up , Counter Force Tactical Warfare, and take your prize! You’re still getting a one back-end score, because you are still awful, but at least you have something shiny to show off. Well done!
Overall: Counter Force Tactical Warfare is so bad, it became only my fourth Hilariously Awful verdict. Still crap though.
Verdict: Hilariously Awful

P.S. I know the name is a takeoff on Counter Strike! Hopefully this gets as many views as Call of Honor.

Zatímco CI Games zveřejní konzolové verze, Epic Games získaly exkluzivní distribuční práva pro „celý životní cyklus produktu“ na PC. Zdánlivě to znamená trvalou exkluzivitu na Epic Games Store, ale obě strany stále vyjednávají o podrobné publikační smlouvě. Samostatná zpráva přijde později.
Lords of the Fallen 2 , dříve označovaný jako Project 3 , bude těžit z „uznání a úspěchu dosaženého Lords of the Fallen“. Je „postaven na ambicióznějších herních možnostech pro širší publikum“ a těží z „podstatných poznatků, zkušeností a znalostí“ vývoje svého předchůdce.
Vyvíjeno na Unreal Engine 5 a mělo by být zajímavé zjistit, zda zapojení Epic Games přesahuje vydání PC verze. Zda pokračování souvisí s Death of the Fallen, ochrannou známkou loni v lednu, se teprve uvidí. Mezitím zůstaňte naladěni na aktualizace.
Lords of the Fallen byl uveden na trh 13. října pro PS5, Xbox Series X/S a PC a během prvních deseti dnů se prodal milion kopií.
Článek Lords of the Fallen 2 oznámeno na rok 2026 se nejdříve objevil na GAME PRESS.
Hellblade 2 leads the new games coming to Xbox Game Pass this month, alongside Soulslike Lords of the Fallen.
The sequel to Senua's Sacrifice, Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga will be a nightmarish visual feast when it's added to Game Pass on day one, though it only runs at 30fps on Xbox consoles. PC specs have already been released.
Lords of the Fallen released in October last year and has since received a large number of updates to improve its performance on both PC and console. Its most recent, and final, update adds modifiers for a rogue-lite challenge.
Hra Lords of the Fallen od společnosti Hexworks je rebootem/pokračováním stejnojmenného akčního Souls like RPG z roku 2014 a během deseti dnů od uvedení na trh se jí prodal milion kopií. Hra se dočkala několika aktualizací, přičemž ta poslední (Master of Fate) poskytuje různé modifikátory pro následné hraní. Ačkoli se dalších aktualizací nedočká, společnost CI Games odhaduje, že v příštích letech z titulu získá 100 milionů dolarů čistého obratu.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 byl uveden na trh v roce 2021 jako nejnovější příspěvek do série stealth odstřelovaček. Stejně jako jeho předchůdce se zaměřuje na mise v rozsáhlých prostředích s několika možnostmi odstřelování na velkou vzdálenost nebo čelního střetu s nepřáteli. Zůstaňte naladěni na podrobnosti o obou titulech a datech jejich vydání v rámci služby Game Pass v nadcházejících týdnech.
