Soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen II will launch for Switch 2 alongside its previously announced PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store) versions this fall, publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks announced.
“Our team is hard at work to ensure Lords of the Fallen II‘s signature dark fantasy world and fast, brutal combat translate directly to the Nintendo Switch 2, and we’re very happy with how the game currently looks and plays,” said game director James Lowe in a press release. “This marks the first time that Nintendo players will explore the realms of Axiom and Umbral, and these new Lampbearers deserve to experience the game at the best quality possible on a great platform. Thanks to the team’s work and the support from Nintendo and Epic, we’re confident it will be a fantastic way to play Lords of the Fallen II.”
Here is an overview of the game, via CI Games:
Lords of the Fallen II on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers impressive Unreal Engine 5 visuals in both hand-held and docked modes, targeting a stable 30 frames per second. Using both Nanite and Lumen technology, the game achieves higher poly models and fully dynamic global illumination alongside other bespoke optimizations, thanks to careful engineering coordination between the development team, Epic and Nintendo.
CI Games is aiming to deliver a “bolder, braver, and bloodier” evolution of its flagship franchise with Lords of the Fallen II, building directly upon extensive community feedback from the 2023 title and the lessons learned through more than 70 post-launch updates. This sequel pushes the series further into its signature aggressive combat style with an improved combat system designed to feel faster, more responsive, and more satisfying than ever before, with brutal executions, expanded combat abilities and visceral dismemberments. Lords of the Fallen II will also feature a richer and more varied world, a significantly expanded enemy roster with biome-specific factions, more dynamic boss encounters, shared-progression co-op at launch and a more immersive Umbral realm.
