After an age of the cruellest tyranny, the demon God, Adyr, was finally defeated. But Godsā€¦ do not fall forever. Now, aeons later, Adyrā€™s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in this expansive RPG experience, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of lightā€¦ or one of darkness? Dare to hope.

Check out the announcement trailer for The Lords of the Fallen, which is brilliantly set to “Mother” by Danzig.

The game will feature two huge parallel worlds, a realm for the living and a realm for the dead, both of which bring their own challenges. You can fully customize your character’s appearance and choose among nine starting classes, which you can further develop as you play. The game can be played solo or with online co-op.

The Lords of the Fallen sounds like a traditional “bigger, better sequel,” and it is available to wishlist on Steam now.
