by

In a recent announcement, CI Games and Hexworks have released an update for the game ‘Lords of the Fallen’, version 2.0. This update offers several exciting features such as:

1. Full synchronization of progression in the multiplayer mode that supports cross-platform co-op play.
2. Enhancements to combat and exploration mechanics, providing a more refined gaming experience.
3. A revamped user interface for a smoother navigation.
4. An expanded range of options for character customization.

We’ve introduced a fresh “Free Friend Pass” feature! This allows anyone to enjoy the game’s character creator and tutorial sections at no cost. Free players can even join their friends’ games (which can be fully played), maintaining their character advancement and loot. However, it’s important to note that the game progression on free accounts is not saved. The update is now live across all platforms except Steam, where there has been a slight delay in implementation.

A version 2.0 trailer and details can be found below, via CI Games.

CI Games is excited to reveal Lords of the Fallen Version 2.0, the ultimate version of the action-RPG game, which will be available from 8 am PST on April 17th as a complimentary update for all owners on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Reaching a pinnacle after more than 50 updates following launch, influenced by community input, this significant version reinforces Lords of the Fallen as providing an unparalleled cooperative experience in the realm of games similar to Souls.

In version 2.0, there’s an exciting new feature that sets it apart from other games in its category: The Free Friends Pass. This means that anyone can play the full game at no cost if they’re exploring with a friend who already owns the original game.

According to Marek Tymninski, CEO of CI Games, “Version 2.0 represents the ultimate version of Lords of the Fallen, incorporating over 50 updates released after its launch.” To show appreciation for their community, they’ve added features like a Free Friend’s Pass and shared progression cooperative play. The game has surpassed initial expectations since its 2023 release, making it an ideal moment for newcomers to jump into the franchise and for existing fans to rediscover Lords of the Fallen in a fresh, captivating manner.
