[h3]Seamlessly craft a Unique Persona[/h3]

Fully customise your character’s appearance, sculpting the form of your face and body, before finessing the finer details. Combining multiple technologies, including 3D scans of real people, and Unreal Engine 5’s own character customisation tech, our extensive selection of armour sets are able to seamlessly adapt to whatever form your character takes.

[h3]Advanced Physics Simulation [/h3]

To ensure as immersive an experience as possible, UE5’s Chaos Physics engine helps to facilitate advanced simulations for clothes, chains, hair, belts, and a whole lot more. This helps to substantially enhance the secondary motion in all our characters, making their movements look much more lifelike.

[h3]Lighting the Darkness[/h3]

Lords of the Fallen takes full advantage of Unreal’s brand new Lumen GI. Our complex environments are lit in real time, and fine tuned to ensure that our nanite meshes bounce the light to provide our world with impressive levels of detail, with minimal impact on performance.

Almost nothing remains of the once-blooming Kingdom of Mournstead, now little more than an expanse of scorched trees, arid fields, and forsaken buildings. Vivid and full of life in bygone days, these lands now lie veiled in ash, the only notes of colour provided by the rotting corpses of its denizens. Casting a horrific five-forked shadow over this sallow realm, colossal fingerlike crags cleave through its ground; an eternal forewarning of Adyr, the tyrannical god’s imminent return…



The Lightreaper’s sole purpose is to relentlessly hunt any lampbearer that threatens the resurrection of his fallen master, Adyr. Mounted atop a ferocious, three-headed winged creature, he silently glides through the forlorn skies of Mournstead in perpetual search of his prey. The extinguished lanterns of his past victims adorn the necks of his mount like trophies, a visual gloat of his immunity to such powers.



Labyrinthine and treacherous, the vast marshlands of the Forsaken Fen are home to the Shuja, who built their hamlets within the ruins of an old umbral civilization, now completely swallowed by the mire. Standing amidst the very heart of this morass stands an ancient tree that houses one of the beacons. Wreathed in baleful energies, whereas once it repressed Adyr, now it hastens his return.



While conjoined twins, Tancred and Reinhold, embody but one anatomy, the righteous zealot, Tancred, holds sway. As Chaplain of the Order and Master of Castigations, he restrained the heretical brother’s manipulation of the flesh since their accursed birth. In time, Reinhold grew bitter and corrupted, his festering ire manifesting upon Tancred’s body.



For centuries, Redcopse was the first destination for pilgrims heading to the Empyrean. But when the indomitable Rhogar spewed forth upon this world, its villagers were defenceless against such rage and savagery. The few survivors were forced to bend to the will of Adyr, such corruption outwardly manifesting over time thus rendering them unrecognisable.



The horrific truth behind this Congregator of Flesh resides within the Tower of Penance, a place where prisoners of the Hallowed Sentinels suffer horrific tortures. This gargantuan creature now haunts the underbelly of Mournstead, awaiting those hurled into the abyss in the name of purification.



From humble pilgrims to exalted royalty, individuals travel from the world’s farthest corners to climb the Path of Devotion and reach the Empyrean, where the godly Cleric holds her millenia old vigil. The crosses of fallen Hallowed Sentinels dot said path, albeit now overshadowed by the horrific hand of Adyr, as it looms ominously in the far distance - a stark reminder of the weight of the Sentinels’ righteous bulwark.



This fog-shrouded, watery rot bed is home to the eerie Shuja folk: an elusive community of monstrous headhunters who claimed the Forsaken Fen as their hunting grounds centuries ago. Steeped in grisly rites, their gruesome effigies pervert these swamps - a stark warning to those that dare to intrude upon such marshland… and retain their heads.

GamesRadar.com - How Edge 381’s cover game Lords Of The Fallen is looking to thrive in a post- Elden Ring world

Lords of the Fallen last night provided a very first glimpse of gameplay live during The Game Awards 2022, with an epic new teaser trailer voiced by the spellbinding Milly Alcock (House of the Dragon).

Taking place over a thousand years after the events of the first game, the upcoming dark fantasy action-RPG will take players on an all-new epic adventure through a vast and sprawling world, split at its very core between the realm of the living and the dead. An expansive RPG experience built specifically for PC and new gen consoles on Unreal Engine 5, players will need to traverse between the two fully interconnected worlds, each offering its own unique pathways, side quests, NPCs, enemies and treasures.

The trailer hints at only a fraction of the gruelling journey that lies ahead of players as you explore this breathtakingly vertical world, over five times bigger than that of its predecessor. You will need to master fast, fluid combat, with a wide range of devastating weapons and powerful magic as you carve a bloody path through demonic hordes, undead terrors, and towering bosses. As for those who would rather venture the long and arduous road side by side with a loyal companion - you’re in luck - as you’ll also have the option to experience the game in seamless online multiplayer.

“Overwhelmed by the phenomenal response to our announcement trailer, we couldn’t wait to
reveal actual in-game footage of the concepts shown and put a spotlight on Lord of the Fallen’s
thematic and quality” said Cezar Virtosu, Creative Director at HEXWORKS. “By developing exclusively
for new-generation platforms, we’re able to bring the full scope and detail of our dark fantasy vision
to life and look forward to revealing even more exciting things come 2023.”

A vast, interconnected world

Embark upon a dark and twisted land split at its very core into two parallel worlds. Only those with the hardiest of constitutions, the most steel of nerves, dare trespass into the nightmarish realm of the dead, where untold horrors lurk and everything is not as it seems…



An expansive RPG experience

You are not alone. Encounter a band of mysterious NPCs, all with their own motivations. Some will help light your way through the darkness, while others serve only their own cruel selves and will seek to sew within you wicked seeds of corruption.



Tactical combat

In a land overrun by demons, amid a world plagued by suffering, only those that master the fast challenging combat stand but a hope of survival.



Devastating magic

Embrace the might of the arcane, rain destruction on all who stumble across your path, or call upon protection from a higher power.



Uninterrupted online multiplayer

Brave your entire quest side-by-side in uninterrupted, online co-op, with fitting rewards for completing community events. But be warned – heroes from other realms can, and will invade.



Define your legend

Fully customise your character’s appearance from a wide array of visual options, before selecting one of nine character classes. Whichever starting path you take, develop your character to your own playstyle by upgrading stats, weapons, armour and spells.
