All Articles: Lords of the Fallen
New Releases: Call of Duty Black Ops III, Need For Speed, Yo-Kai Watch, More
Are you ready to answer the call of duty? Right on schedule, Activision and Treyarch will release Call of Duty: Black Ops III for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One this week. Taking place in a near future where technologically-augmented soldiers form the backbone of modern war, the game will also be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360, though it won’t include the single-player Campaign Mode. Players in the market for a PS4 will also be able to pick up a 1 TB PS4 + Call of Duty: Black Ops III Bundle this week.
This week’s other major new release is Need For Speed, the latest entry in the long-running racing franchise. Developer Ghost Games considers the PS4 and Xbox One game a complete reboot of the series and has packed Need For Speed with five overlapping storylines and dozens of cars.
The kids will get their chance to play as well as Nintendo and Level-5 will release the Pokemon-like Yo-Kai Watch for the 3DS, while Little Orbit will launch Snoopy’s Grand Adventure for the 3DS, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
Finally, a number of games are getting special edition re-releases including Evolve: Ultimate Edition (PS4, Xbox One), Lords of the Fallen: Complete Edition (PS4, Xbox One), and Shovel Knight (3DS, PS4, Wii U).
A complete list of this week’s new releases can be found after the break. (more…)
Lords of the Fallen 2 will be released in 2017
Eurogamer has learned that Lords of the Fallen 2 will be released sometime in 2017. Marek Tyminski, the CEO of CI Games, also shared the news that 900,000 copies of Lords of the Fallen have been sold since the game’s Fall 2014 launch.
However, Tyminski also had some bad news for the European news site. He confirmed that Lords of the Fallen’s main developer, Deck 13, will not be involved with the sequel. From the sound of it, the split appears to be mutual:
“We have spoken about certain things we could probably do after the release of Lords of the Fallen but at the end of the day we came to the conclusion, both sides, that it won’t happen, and as far as I know they have another project, and I wish them luck. We have very clear thinking on how we want to make Lords of the Fallen 2 and we have a very good idea.”
That said, Tyminski also told Eurogamer that his goal with Lords of the Fallen 2 is to “make a much better game.”
Lords of the Fallen will get a Game of the Year Edition on June 26
Publisher CI Games and developer Deck 13 have announced that Lords of the Fallen will be re-released in a Game of the Year Edition next month. The PC, PS4, and Xbox One action RPG is coming back in a package that’ll include the original game and all four DLC packs (Ancient Labyrinth, The Monk’s Decipher, Demonic Weapons Pack, and Lionheart Pack) on June 26. And in a welcome twist on the typical Game of the Year formula, Deck 13 also plans to include a variety of never-before-seen weapons and armor for the disc.
If you’ve already played through the entirety of Lords of the Fallen and our looking for something more from the franchise, Deck 13 has also already announced that Lords of the Fallen 2 is in development.
