Lords of the Fallen has been a smash hit ever since CI Games, selling over a million copies and forecasting significant revenue for years to come. Developer Hexworks is already deep into a new project, known as Project 3, a AAA action role-playing game that could be tied in some way to the “Lords of the Fallen” universe. “.
Recently, a discovery on Twitter revealed that CI Games had registered “Death of the Fallen”.. This new brand raises the question of whether this is a spin-off, a sequel, or a completely new game in the same universe. CI Games’ Q3 2023 earnings presentation mentioned that Project 3 would benefit from the recognition and success of “Lords of the Fallen”, while offering more ambitious gaming options to appeal to a wider audience.
Project details and date change
According to the information revealed, Project 3 is developed under Unreal Engine 5, like its predecessor “Lords of the Fallen”. This new game is expected to offer broader gaming experiences and leverage learnings from the previous game’s development. One point that is puzzling, however, is the change in the launch window, initially planned for early 2024, now planned for 2026.
Although Project 3 was initially expected to launch on next-gen platforms, the new release date raises questions about the direction the game’s development will take. Despite the details shared, it remains to be seen whether “Death of the Fallen” and Project 3 will be two separate entities or if, in fact, they have a significant connection to the hit “Lords of the Fallen” franchise.
