Action role-playing game Lords of the Fallen is getting a sequel

German developer Deck13 Interactive is working on Lords of the Fallen 2.

Lords of the Fallen released back in October and gained some fairly positive reviews. The action role-playing game drew heavily on From Software’s notoriously difficult Souls games — such as Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls — and its take on fantasy action has resonated with enough gamers to make a sequel viable. In a market often dominated by long-standing series, it’s refreshing to see a new title break through, albeit one that riffed on tried and tested game mechanics.
