Lords of the Fallen gets a proper gameplay trailer and an October release date

lords of the fallen finally got its first trailer for the game, as well as a release date that locks the game in for this October.

Need a Souls-like to get excited about and keep going while you wait for a proper Elden Ring DLC ​​reveal? Developer Hexworks has finally given us a proper gameplay trailer for the Lords of the Fallen reboot, showing what you can expect to do when the game launches on October 13, a release date that was also revealed during the trailer.

As expected, it looks like a Souls game! A large and expansive fantasy setting, difficult and monstrous-looking bosses, people telling you dialogue that you’re sure are telling you some kind of story, but you’ll just wait until some YouTuber picks up the whole story and you see that instead. to try. to find out for yourself. It’s all there, and for some reason it’s set to Iron Maiden’s Fear of the Dark, which yeah, sure, I guess heavy metal makes sense as a genre to use, but nonetheless it feels a little strange tonally.

While it’s not just a raw game so we don’t know exactly how it will play out, it looks quite promising! Not necessarily something that will blow your mind, but hey, sometimes you just want to dodge enemy big hits and die a bunch without thinking too much about it.

Lords of the Fallen is a reboot of the 2014 game of the same name, initially revealed in 2015, but formally revealed as a reboot last year at Gamescom Opening Night Live. The game takes place over a thousand years after the events of the first game, so it also acts as a sequel, and is also meant to be five times the size of the original.

You’ll be able to play Lords of the Fallen on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC when it launches on October 13.
