[/url] [i]“The Lords of the Fallen is the successor fans of the original title have always wanted,”[/i] said Cezar Virtosu, Creative Director of Hexworks. [i]“The game is significantly larger, with a vast, interconnected dual world split between the realms of the living and dead, that players can explore alone or with friends. It's darker and more challenging, with faster soulslike combat, stronger thematic, richer narrative, deeper RPG systems, and more immersive storytelling."[/i] Millennia has passed since the events of the original 2014 hit; the world has plunged into shadow and chaos, as the demon god, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in a thrilling campaign, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, memorable character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling.
