Lords of the Fallen was announced last year at Gamescom 2022, garnering support among souls-like genre fanatics. This is a reboot for the series as the original came out in 2014 with mixed reviews. Before its splash at Gamescom 2023, Lords of the Fallen has been slowly releasing new information and trailers such as a Gameplay Reveal a few months ago. The action-RPG is taking what they learned from the 2014 game and making something entirely new for this Gamescom 2022 trailer.

Lords of the Fallen’s Standout Feature

Looking at how recent souls-like games such as Elden Ring and Nioh performed, Lords of the Fallen stands out in this Gamescom 2022 trailer for its horror elements. There’s a much darker and grittier tone compared to the 2014 original. Emphasizing the horror will make Lords of the Fallen shine more in comparison to others in the genre.

In addition, the gameplay looks much tighter than the 2014 game. While the Gamescom 2023 story trailer doesn’t contain much gameplay, IGN’s 13 minute Gameplay video should give fans an idea of what’s to come in Lords of the Fallen.
