From day one, Lords of the Fallen was under the spotlight. Gamers were excited about a new high-quality Souls-like experience with stunning visuals.

However, the game launched with technical issues and inconsistent performance, which led to mediocre and disappointing reviews at first. But the developers at HEXWORKS didn’t give up. They embarked on a long journey of updates and fixes, and now we’ve reached version 2.0 – the biggest update since launch, completely transforming the experience.

What’s New in Version 2.0?

This isn’t just a small patch or a set of minor fixes. It’s a full-on overhaul of Lords of the Fallen. Let’s dive into the standout features of the update:

✅ Free Co-op with Friends – Friends Pass:

Now you can play the entire game with a friend for free. Thanks to the Friends Pass, anyone can join your game without owning it, and both of you get to keep your own story progress. It’s a brilliant move to boost engagement and bring players back.

✅ Revamped Character Creator:

The character creation system has been completely redesigned. It now offers more realistic visuals and a wider range of customization options. This allows every player to craft a hero that truly reflects their personality—an essential element in RPGs.

✅ Improved Combat and Movement:

One of the most common complaints at launch was the clunky movement and imprecise combat. This update addresses those issues directly. Combat feels smoother, attacks are more responsive, and now you can feel the real weight of every strike.

✅ Dedicated Jump Button:

Finally! There’s now a separate jump button, so you no longer have to sprint just to jump. It may seem small, but it drastically improves navigation and gameplay fluidity, especially during exploration or when dodging traps.

✅ Guiding Lantern System:

If you ever get lost in the massive game world—which is very possible—there’s now a lantern-guided navigation system. The light subtly points you in the right direction without ruining the sense of discovery.

✅ New User Interface:

The in-game menus and interface have been redesigned for a cleaner, more modern look. Whether you're switching gear or reviewing stats, everything is easier to access and more visually streamlined.

✅ In-Game Guidebook:

Forget something? No worries. A detailed in-game guidebook is now available, letting you revisit essential information and gameplay mechanics without having to search online.
