Fans of the upcoming RPG, Lords of the Fallen are certainly in for a treat, as Hexworks has revealed the official launch trailer ahead of the game’s release on 13 October. The two-minute-long trailer is set to whet the appetites further for those fans who are desperate to get their hands on the latest Soulslike RPG to hit the market.
The highly anticipated game is due for release on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. With the release of the official trailer, this marks the last few days of availability in which Lords of the Fallen can be pre-ordered ahead of release, this coming Friday.
What can we expect from Lords of the Fallen?
As first revealed by Geoff Keighley at Gamescom in 2022, Lords of the Fallen is a game that fans have been waiting nearly a decade for. The cinematic reveal trailer on Opening Night Live was shown to an estimated 5,000,000 viewers and comments from fans were understandably positive.
Keighley stated that he was ‘overwhelmed’ by just how supportive fans of the original Lords of the Fallen (2014) were at the prospect of a reboot nearly a decade later.
Lords of the Fallen takes place in the vast landscape of Mournstead and follows one of the fabled Dark Crusaders as they undertake a quest to quash the inevitable return of the demon god Adyr who was thought defeated. But gods don’t stay defeated for long.
To stop this threat, players must traverse between the worlds of the living (Axiom) and the dead (Umbral). The Dark Crusader is humanity’s last hope and must use the otherworldly lamp to battle the monstrosities that appear in both planes of existence.
The good news is that players won’t have to endure this campaign themselves. When needed, a crusader companion can be called upon to assist with the game’s seamless coop.
The game is set nearly 1000 years later than the original game and fans can expect to encounter a world that is nearly five times larger. With nine different classes to choose from, players will have to choose their avatar wisely before embarking on their perilous journey.

As we can see from the reveal trailer, this promises to be a bloodthirsty challenging RPG, with boss battles that Hexworks have described as ‘Colossal’. No doubt there will be several hours poring over this game as fans battle through it for completion.
Decapitation, Dragons and Demons, this trailer has it all. The graphics look fantastic and although it may be light on actual combat footage, fans can be more than happy with what they have seen in the trailer so far.
We can see not only the Dark Crusader but also some of the accompanying companions, who may be called on for assistance. One thing that stands out, however, is the transition from Axiom to Umbral and the use of the mystical lamp to move between worlds.
With the release of the official trailer on the Lords of the Fallen website and across various Social Media platforms, fans have been sharing what they think about this reveal.
“I’ve been excited for this game a while and some how y’all keep selling it to me further and further.” @YourFriendBrice
“Been watching so much gameplay and this game really has potential to be one of the best soulslike games.” @FactsRealTalk
“Legit such an amazing trailer. Great job, cant stop watching it.” @JefDrouin
It may be slightly ironic that the game is due to launch on Friday the 13th but one thing is for sure, the only bad luck players may experience when they pick up this title is several overwhelming battles with monstrosities in parallel realms.
