New action RPG Lords of the Fallen launches in October

The dark fantasy action RPG has been developed by Hexworks as a reboot of the original 2014 game and will launch across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The developers at Hexworks have shown off the new Lords of the Fallen several times already, but all of those videos have focused on how much better everything looks thanks to Unreal Engine 5. Now it’s time for some gameplay and information about the launch.

To answer that first thing right away: Lords of the Fallen will launch on Friday the 13th, October 13th to be specific. That’s worth noting, as today’s gameplay trailer does, after a fairly long cinematic opening, show that the title stays true to its Souls-inspired combat while delivering impressive graphics most similar games could only have dreamed of before UE5.

This reimagining/reboot of its 2014 predecessor is coming on Friday, October 13. A big new trailer set to Iron Maiden packs in a ton of metal-infused action that shows off the game’s Unreal Engine 5-rendered graphics.
