Lords of the Fallen II Delayed to Q1 2027, Citing GTA6 Avoidance and Polish Time
CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski announced on June 24 that the soulslike action RPG Lords of the Fallen II has been delayed from its planned fall 2026 release window to the first quarter of 2027. The delay is intended to move the game 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 game is scheduled for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Lords of the Fallen II is a sequel to the 2023 reboot, which received mixed reviews at launch but later recovered to Mostly Positive on Steam. The sequel has approximately 14,000 followers on Steam. However, the Q1 2027 window is also becoming crowded, with titles such as Stranger Than Heaven, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4 Revival, and Fable already scheduled for that period.
