Lords of the Fallen 2 is betting on faster and deeper combat

According to the studio, the main goal has been to increase speed and responsiveness, while maintaining the challenge that’s characteristic of the genre. Each combat encounter is designed to be a constant test of skill, where precision and decision-making are crucial.

The video confirms major changes to the magical, ranged, and melee combat systems, as well as a complete overhaul of heavy attacks. These will now be more devastating, but also more punishing if executed at the wrong time.

Players will have access to more equipment, abilities, and special moves, expanding tactical options and encouraging more creative fighting styles. New combos will also be introduced, adding more depth to the battles.

With this new update, CI Games makes it clear that the sequel isn’t just about adding more content, but refining the gameplay to offer more dynamic and varied combat. As we wait to learn more about its release, the studio continues to show off updates that point to a clear evolution from the previous game.
