by

Summary

  • The January 2025 Lords of the Fallen update improves online connectivity, providing smoother gameplay with reduced rubberbanding.
  • Male and female body options are now available with the character creator.
  • A new audio option was added to adjust the ambiance of the Umbral realm.

In January, Hexworks has launched a fresh update for the game “Lords of the Fallen,” enhancing the gaming experience of Lampbearers in Version 1.7.73. Initially released in 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S users, this version boasts an Unreal Engine 5 build, serving as the successor to the 2014 game with the same title. The game incorporates Soulslike elements into its third-person action, inviting Lampbearers to traverse the realm of Mournstead and purify magic beacons to thwart the resurrection of the dark god Adyr.

As a gamer, I’ve been diving back into the world of Lords of the Fallen, and just recently, they dropped an update in December that tinkered with the dash and roll system, making it even smoother to navigate through the game. They also beefed up the blood animation during Pieta’s post-defeat cutscene for a more impactful experience. Though this update was smaller in scope, similar to the one rolled out in January, it zeroed in on specific player issues. Now, I can delve deeper into Mournstead and engage with those Vestiges and Umbral exit points, even when there are pesky enemies lurking around!

On the official social media platforms for the game, Hexworks announced a live update for Lords of the Fallen players, highlighting that these changes were based on player feedback. A key aspect of the update is an overhaul in online connectivity, making the game run smoother by minimizing rubberbanding and lag, thus allowing players to battle the toughest bosses more effortlessly. Additionally, players can now customize their characters with both male and female body types via the character creator. The experience of exploring Umbral has been improved with a new audio option that lets you adjust the realm’s background noise.

From just a quick look at its ominous dark fantasy style, it’s clear that Lords of the Fallen is one of the top action RPG choices for fans of Dark Souls. Players who love Lampbearers were pleased with the latest update, which brought about several stability enhancements and bug repairs. Some players even said this update inspired them to reopen the game, while others hope for a future update that includes an optional hidden HUD feature.

Lampbearers can expect that they’re well informed about the upcoming sequel, which has been in active development and scheduled for a 2026 release. Notably, an update regarding the successor of Lords of the Fallen was shared back in October 2024. This follow-up title will showcase a more commercial art style, incorporate cooperative play with shared progression, and boast enhanced production values overall. The sequel is tentatively titled “Death of the Fallen” and will initially be available exclusively on PC through the Epic Games Store at launch.
