While it is planned for a multiplatform release, its PC distribution partner is bad news for Steam partisans. Reported first by Polish site Bankier on June 15, the binding report between CI Games and Epic Games mentions the 2026 Lords of the Fallen sequel, which currently has \u201cProject 3\u201d as its working title. The legal agreement grants Epic exclusive worldwide distribution rights on PC \u201cfor the entire product life cycle.\u201d As for other platforms, CI Games will remain to be the publisher of those. \u201cThe rights to publish and distribute the game worldwide on all other platforms, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms for which the game is currently in development, will remain with [CI Games],\u201d the legal filing says. This almost certainly means the Lords of the Fallen sequel will follow in the footsteps of Alan Wake 2 on PC. Published by Epic Games\u2019 publishing wing, Alan Wake 2 launched on PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store and was paid to be there \u201cfor a long time.\u201d While it\u2019s too early for CI Games\u2019 sequel, we can assume something similar to be the case. We don\u2019t know a lot about the Lords of the Fallen sequel except its working title, Project 3. Earlier this year, we heard about CI Games filing a trademark for \u201cDeath of the Fallen,\u201d which is possibly the actual title for the sequel. The Lords of the Fallen reboot of 2023 had a rocky launch. However, it has received several updates since that addressed many of the issues and added new content. These helped the game reach a \u201cMostly Positive\u201d user rating on Steam now, up from its prior \u201cMixed\u201d rating.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/lords-of-the-fallen-2023-official-screenshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1262599"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1262619,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599\/revisions\/1262619"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1262602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1262599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1262599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

While it is planned for a multiplatform release, its PC distribution partner is bad news for Steam partisans. Reported first by Polish site Bankier on June 15, the binding report between CI Games and Epic Games mentions the 2026 Lords of the Fallen sequel, which currently has \u201cProject 3\u201d as its working title. The legal agreement grants Epic exclusive worldwide distribution rights on PC \u201cfor the entire product life cycle.\u201d As for other platforms, CI Games will remain to be the publisher of those. \u201cThe rights to publish and distribute the game worldwide on all other platforms, including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms for which the game is currently in development, will remain with [CI Games],\u201d the legal filing says. This almost certainly means the Lords of the Fallen sequel will follow in the footsteps of Alan Wake 2 on PC. Published by Epic Games\u2019 publishing wing, Alan Wake 2 launched on PC exclusively via the Epic Games Store and was paid to be there \u201cfor a long time.\u201d While it\u2019s too early for CI Games\u2019 sequel, we can assume something similar to be the case. We don\u2019t know a lot about the Lords of the Fallen sequel except its working title, Project 3. Earlier this year, we heard about CI Games filing a trademark for \u201cDeath of the Fallen,\u201d which is possibly the actual title for the sequel. The Lords of the Fallen reboot of 2023 had a rocky launch. However, it has received several updates since that addressed many of the issues and added new content. These helped the game reach a \u201cMostly Positive\u201d user rating on Steam now, up from its prior \u201cMixed\u201d rating.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/lords-of-the-fallen-2023-official-screenshot.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2588"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1262599"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1262619,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1262599\/revisions\/1262619"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1262602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1262599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1262599"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1262599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
