What we know about Lords of the Fallen so far
The story continues on from the previous Lords of the Fallen, whereby the demon god Adyr was defeated. Unfortunately, his imminent rise is approaching, so it is up to you to jump between the parallel realms of the living and dead to reach your goal and defeat the god once more.
With over 30 confirmed bosses and up to 10 starting classes to choose from, Lords of the Fallen won't try and reinvent the Soulslike wheel but will look to present the features that define the genre in a way that will captivate and challenge its audience.
