The Lords of the Fallen, the long-awaited sequel to 2014 Souls-like Lords of the Fallen, has now been renamed... Lords of the Fallen.
As reported by PC Gamer, the name change was subtly baked into a technical showcase released on March 22 (below). This means the sequel now shares the exact same name with the original game despite only being released around a decade apart.
A similar naming debacle happened in February with Layers of Fear, as a remastered collection of the series was originally called Layers of Fears before the second S was also dropped.
The Lords of the Fallen sequel was re-revealed at Gamescom 2022 after years of troubled development spread across several different studios.
It's back on track, however, and a first look at its gameplay was released in December last year. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, the RPG promises tough as nails combat in a dark fantasy world, taking place 1,000 years after the events of the original game.
The new Lords of the Fallen doesn't have a release date yet, but is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
In our 7/10 review of the original, IGN said: "Lords of the Fallen has fun combat and a good spin on Dark Souls' skill system, but its hero is overpowered."
