Lords of the Fallen II: ‘Lifting the Veil’ Ep. 8 Dev Update | All-New Combat Gameplay

Currently in active development, Lords of the Fallen II is the next entry in the beloved soulslike action-RPG series set in a human realm besieged by eons of malevolent gods, visceral magic, and unflinching defenders. 1,000 years after the fall of the dark god Adyr, a lone kingdom stands against the forces of the dead realm known as Umbral and its eldritch master.

As the Lampbearer, players can rend enemies limb from limb with a brand new dismemberment feature and silence them forever with all-new executions in a fast and fluid combat system. An even greater wealth of enemy types and truly jaw-dropping boss battles will test even the strongest in solo play or best-in-class shared progression co-op.
