Lords of the Fallen is an upcoming action RPG that so far seems like a worthy addition to the souls-like genre. It’s both a remake and a sequel of the game of the same name that was originally released in 2014, and what they’ve shown seems promising. Having said all that, what exactly do we currently know about this new souls-like?
Everything We Know
Developed by Hexworks, Lords of the Fallen is made using Unreal Engine 5, which means that it will feature immersive graphics and highly customizable characters with seamlessly fitting armor sets and accessories.
The game will be available on PC, as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. It will also feature two player co-op gameplay, as well as PVP in the form of invasions, which will likely work the same way as in other souls-like games.
Lords of the Fallen will have two parallel worlds to explore as you work towards overthrowing the demon god Adyr. These are Axiom and Umbral, the realms of the living and the dead, respectively.
Both worlds are connected through the Umbral Lamp, which can be used to reveal secret treasure or new paths for you to cross throughout your adventure.
System Requirements and Console Performance
While those who play on consoles have nothing to worry about in terms of whether or not their hardware can handle the game, PC players may want to know if their rigs can run Lords of the Fallen.
Luckily, the minimum and recommended system specifications have been released and can be viewed on the game’s Steam page. The main requirements are as follows:
Minimum:
- Processor: Intel i5 8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600
- Memory: 12 GB RAM
- Graphics: 6GBs VRAM | Nvidia GTX-1060 / AMD Radeon RX 590
- Storage: 45 GB space
Recommended:
- Processor: Intel i7 8700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: 8GBs VRAM | Nvidia RTX-2080 / AMD Radeon RX 6700

For console players, you may also want to know that the game will feature Quality and Performance modes. Quality mode will run at 30 FPS in an upscaled 1440p resolution, while the latter will run at 60 FPS in 1080p.
Tons of Choices
There will be a wide range of customization options for the appearance of your character, and there are nine different starting classes to choose from.
Regardless of your chosen class, you are given the freedom to upgrade your equipment and stats in a way that is tailored to your playstyle.
The game also features a vast arsenal of weapons, including bows, spears, axes, swords, and more.
Aside from that, there are also multiple schools of magic that you can take advantage of, which give mage players a lot of choices if they wish to forego the use of physical weapons.
Length of the Game
According to the developers, the game will take players about an average of 25 to 30 hours to finish a single playthrough, though this number can get much higher for completionists who wish to finish any optional content and other secrets.
Those who play in another player’s world may also have an extended playtime, as co-op partners will reportedly have limitations in terms of loot and experience gained.
And that’s everything we know so far about Lords of the Fallen. As of writing this, the game is quickly closing in on its release date, and we’ll learn everything else about it soon!
