The Lords of the Fallen sequel has had a sophisticated growth, and it’s simply gotten much more tangled.
Publisher CI Games initially deliberate to launch Lords of the Fallen 2 in 2017. The first game was a co-development between CI Games and Deck13, however Deck13 was not concerned within the sequel – they as a substitute went on to develop The Surge and its upcoming sequel. Back in 2015, the game lost its executive producer, because the game wanted a brand new route to achieve a wider viewers (the unique game, a Souls-like, was relatively troublesome).
Then, silence. We didn’t hear far more about Lords of the Fallen 2 till final yr, once we heard that the game was now being worked on by a new studio. Defiant Studios, primarily based in New York, got here in to work on the game, which was by now overdue and in want of some remodeling.
And now, lower than a yr later, Defiant Studios is not concerned. Eurogamer has gone to the difficulty of translating the Polish press launch put out by CI Games about this, which places blame on Defiant Studios for submitting low-quality work. Their termination is “due to inadequate execution by Defiant [of] a key work stage (milestone no. 11), a so-called vertical slice”.
Speaking to Eurogamer for a similar article, Defiant Studios’ founder and managing director David Grijns disagreed with this characterisation, stating that “the team that was working on CI Games’ project was comprised of exceedingly talented developers whose work we fully stand behind”.
At this level, the plan is to complete off the undertaking in-house at CI Games. No new launch window has been set. The unique Lords of the Fallen launched on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in 2014.
