Lords of the Fallen II Trailer Debuts at Summer Game Fest 2026
The trailer confirms CI Games is continuing the rebooted franchise with a sequel that leans further into exaggerated fantasy enemy design, but the brief, gameplay-light footage leaves open questions about how the game will differentiate itself from the crowded soulslike market.

CI Games released the first trailer for "Lords of the Fallen II" during Summer Game Fest 2026 on June 6. The one-minute trailer shows a dark fantasy setting with soulslike combat, featuring enemies including an angel with winged hands, a kimono-clad figure, a giant dragon, and oversized weapons. The game is a sequel to the 2023 reboot of the original Lords of the Fallen. It is scheduled for release in fall 2026 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Japanese display support is confirmed. The trailer was shown as part of the Summer Game Fest 2026 broadcast, which also included a live Japanese-translated stream on Denfaminicogamer's YouTube channel. The brief footage focuses on fantastical environments and large-scale battles, but does not show gameplay mechanics or story details. CI Games has not yet announced a specific release date within the fall window.
The trailer, which runs approximately one minute, was the first public look at the sequel since CI Games announced development. It shows a protagonist fighting an angel whose wings are made of hands, a figure in Japanese-style clothing, and a dragon large enough to fill the screen. Weapons visible in the clip include a blade that appears too large to be a conventional sword. The game is the direct follow-up to the 2023 Lords of the Fallen reboot, which was developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games. That title launched to mixed critical reception but sold over one million copies in its first ten days. CI Games has not named a developer for the sequel in the trailer or accompanying materials. The platforms listed are PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, with no mention of a last-generation or Nintendo Switch version. The fall 2026 release window places the game roughly three years after the previous entry.
