Summary
CI Games has delayed the release of Lords of the Fallen 2 from fall 2026 to 2027, citing the need to avoid a crowded release window that includes Grand Theft Auto 6. The game is being developed in Unreal Engine 5 and will be published by Epic Games Publishing. The delay allows the team more time to polish the game and avoid competing with major AAA titles. The original Lords of the Fallen reboot was a commercial success, selling 1.3 million copies in its first 10 days.
