Lords of the Fallen II is delayed from fall 2026 to the first quarter of 2027, with CI Games citing the need to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's launch and to apply additional polish.
CI Games debuted the first trailer for Lords of the Fallen II at Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 6, showing a dark fantasy setting with soulslike combat and exaggerated enemy designs. The one-minute trailer featured an angel with winged hands, a kimono-clad figure, a giant dragon, and oversized weapons, but did not show gameplay mechanics or story details. The game was announced for a fall 2026 release on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with Japanese display support confirmed.
Less than three weeks later, on June 24, CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski announced the game had been delayed to the first quarter of 2027. The delay was intended to move the release outside the competitive holiday period, which includes the November 19 launch of Grand Theft Auto VI. Tyminski also cited ongoing feedback from the Gameplay Feedback Team and the need for additional polish. The Nintendo Switch 2 was added to the list of platforms. The sequel to the 2023 reboot has approximately 14,000 followers on Steam.
The Q1 2027 window is already crowded with other major releases, including Stranger Than Heaven, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, and Fable. CI Games has not announced a specific release date within that window.
