The latest update for “Lords of the Fallen” has been released, featuring changes to NPC helper summons and requested HUD options, among others in version 1.7.106. This update comes after a patch in January 2025 that enhanced online connectivity and introduced Male/Female body options, responding to the community’s feedback.

From its debut in 2023, “Lords of the Fallen” has undergone numerous significant upgrades to rectify the various technical issues that were present when it first came out. This open-world dark fantasy game garnered impressive sales upon release, with “Lords of the Fallen” selling a million copies within its first 10 days, even though it received mixed reviews from the Soulslike gaming community. The developers at Hexworks have been diligent in improving the game, regularly releasing updates that incorporate fan-requested features. Now, the game has rolled out its second update of 2025, further enhancing and polishing this terrifying sequel to the 2014 game with the same name.

Hexworks’ development team has unveiled the patch details for version 1.7.106 of Lords of the Fallen, which is available now on both PC and console platforms. Highlights from this update include fixing numerous random crashes, as well as introducing dynamic HUD options that let players customize their user interface experience. This includes an option to make UI elements appear or disappear based on context, or even turn the HUD off entirely.

The game’s NPC helpers are also getting a change – they will now be available from the first boss encounter instead of only becoming accessible after a player’s first death. Lastly, Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) has been integrated into the game to improve performance while preserving image quality.

In November 2024, the version 1.6 update for “Lords of the Fallen” introduced support for PlayStation 5 Pro, offering enhanced tutorial assistance for novice players and numerous performance enhancements and balance adjustments. On the PS5 Pro, the game’s pixel density boosts by a remarkable 40% compared to the standard console, with the Performance mode providing 4K resolution at a steady 60 frames per second.

In October 2024, CI Games declared that they were fully engaged in producing a sequel to the game “Lords of the Fallen,” which is scheduled for release around 2026. The upcoming game will reportedly have a new artistic style and increased production quality, as well as cooperative play with shared progression. A comprehensive unveiling of the game is anticipated in 2025.
