Just a few days away from the The Game Awards, an unexpected leak from the gala sparked a flurry of theories. Among the images was a statue that many players quickly associated with Lords of the Fallen 2 (along with many other games), to the point where a large part of the community took it for granted that Hexworks was behind the teaser.

The conversation grew so quickly that the game’s creator himself decided to speak out. And he did so with a clear, sincere message that only added to the excitement: neither the statue nor the studio has anything to do with the leak… but they’re also following the situation very closely.

Fingers crossed it’s something from FromSoftware

On social media, the creative director shared his reaction to the confusion:

We’re flattered that so many of you think we’re behind that statue. I can confirm that it’s not us, and we’re just as excited as you are. We developers are praying that it’s something from FROM. We have enormous respect for them and dream of reaching their level one day.

Rather than diverting attention, the message also served to hint at what’s to come for the saga:

Big news is on the way for Lords of the Fallen and Lords II. We’ve heard you. Soon it will be time to show it.

The situation has been divided into two fronts: on the one hand, curiosity about what the statue really represents, which will be part of The Game Awards stage; on the other, growing excitement for the studio’s next announcement, which promises to go beyond the August trailer.

A perfect hype crossover just days before the gala, with FromSoftware at the center of everyone’s attention… and Lords Of The Fallen II preparing its return to the scene.
