Lords of the Fallenannounce a major update packed with new content forCI Games and Hexworks title, which now enhances its technical performance on thePlayStation 5 Pro.
Lords of the Fallen New Update
One of the best soulslikes in recent years has something important to reveal. While we already knew Lords of the Fallen was one of the PS5 titles optimized for PlayStation 5 Pro, we didn’t expect it to come with numerous other features in a free update.
Today,Lords of the Fallen,the acclaimed action-RPG from Hexworks and published by CI Games, receives update 1.6, which includes a range of important changes, technical improvements, and more.
To start, the dark fantasy soulslike has improved exploration in Umbral (the dark dimension) through a series of quality-of-life features and configuration options. Also noteworthy is the ‘new’ tutorial, created by Lords of the Fallen veterans, which focuses on gameplay, exploration, and combat in the game’s dark dimension.
Perhaps the most ‘striking’ part of the patch is that Lords of the Fallen is now optimized for PlayStation 5 Pro. The game runs at dynamic 4K and 60 FPS in performance mode, while quality mode delivers 4K at 30 FPS. Texture density has increased by 40%.
Patch Notes
Gameplay EnhancementsBased on community feedback and extensive playtesting, we’ve made further gameplay adjustments. It’s rewarding to see our “Recent Reviews” score on Steam increase, reflecting the positive impact of these continuous improvements, and we’re committed to staying on this path with your valuable feedback.
Improved Tutorial Experience
We’ve taken steps to further enrich new players' experience in Lords of the Fallen, based on feedback from our veteran Lampbearers. We want all new players to feel empowered on their journey, and we understand that some early tutorials may have presented a steep learning curve.
A More Immersive Umbral
Umbral, the parallel realm intertwined with Axiom’s living world, is accessible at any point in the game and offers a vast world of alternate paths, hidden treasures, and secrets. We know how much you enjoy exploring Mournstead, and many of you have requested a more accessible Umbral realm.
With this in mind, we’ve made some adjustments to improve its immersion while preserving its mysterious and challenging nature.
Though Umbral remains intentionally hostile, we’ve adjusted its sounds, visual effects, and enemy spawn curve. Now, the Threads (Umbral’s natives) take longer to detect your presence, giving you precious time to explore before the realm’s haunting intensifies. Finally, the Scarlet Shadow will appear, forcing you to decide: escape or face an epic duel.
PerformanceWe’ve implemented additional performance improvements in several of the game’s most graphically demanding areas, optimizing the experience for players on lower-spec computers.
MultiplayerNow that Lords of the Fallen fully utilizes the power of PS5 Pro, prepare for a new wave of cross-platform players venturing into Mournstead! Be sure to greet them warmly in co-op—or with the cold edge of your sword in PvP.
Rumor has it that Lords of the Fallen may have a sequel (which would be the third game in this saga, following the original 2014 release), with an announcement possibly coming in 2025, and some details have been leaked.
Lords of the Fallenis available onPC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.The PS5 version is now optimized for PS5 Pro, so you can enjoy its technical improvements starting June 04, 2025.
