Why Lords of the Fallen 2 was delayed
As Marek Tyminski explained, the development of Lords of the Fallen 2 progressed alongside a specialized gameplay evaluation group made up of experienced players in the souls-like genre.
The executive noted that the feedback received allowed them to identify opportunities to further strengthen the project through more integration, iteration, and polishing time.
According to CI Games, the goal is to achieve the highest possible level of quality before the launch.
What CI Games said about the new release schedule
Tyminski assured that the studio remains focused on delivering a sequel worthy of the franchise.
Additionally, he highlighted the positive reception of the recent presentations of the game and thanked the community for their support during the development process.
What did CI Games say about the new release schedule
The company announced that it will share new updates about Lords of the Fallen 2 in the coming months.
The competitive game calendar also influenced the decision
