Studio CI Games has released a new episode of the "Lifting the Veil" developer diary dedicated to the soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen II. In the new episode titled "Steel & Sorcery," the developers demonstrated in detail the fundamental changes to the combat system that significantly expand players' tactical freedom.
Key Combat System Innovations
- Weapon swapping mid-combo: players can seamlessly switch between two different weapon loadouts right in the middle of a combo string.
- Nearly 30 movesets: the number of unique weapon movesets has doubled compared to the 2023 game.
- Quickfire abilities: the ability to assign two magical or ranged skills for instant use in the midst of melee combat without switching stances.
- Dedicated stances for magic and shooting: spellcasters and archers receive the same high mobility as melee fighters.
- Instant casting: access to four spells per catalyst with the ability to quickly switch to another catalyst.
- Full-fledged ranged builds: basic ranged weapons now have infinite ammunition.
The release of Lords of the Fallen II is scheduled for the first quarter of 2027. The game is already available to wishlist for Nintendo Switch 2, and its physical distribution will be handled by PLAION.
