Lords of the Fallen reveals free content roadmap, and it’s hefty

6 months ago 167

Hexworks’ and CI Games’ rather successful Soulslike ARPG Lords of the Fallen is due to receive a fairly substantial selection of bonus post-release goodies for free. While the details are still slim, we now know the game will receive a fair bit of extra content in the coming weeks.

Even though Lords of the Fallen does have its fair share of faults, the game is a compelling experience for Soulslike fans, and the fact that the devs are looking to expand its many systems and features is bound to draw even more people in. Some of the key highlights include all-new armor sets and questlines, spells, events, fixes, inventory expansions, and more.

Free new content coming to Lords of the Fallen in 2023

As per the official announcement from Hexworks, the studio is hard at work to add a wealth of new content to Lords of the Fallen before 2023 fully wraps up. The official roadmap promises the following goodies:

  • Umbral armor set and questline
  • Rhogar armor set and questline
  • Radiant armor set and questline
  • 2 separate inventory expansion sets
  • 2 new spell packs
  • Bonus secret boss weapon abilities
  • New Grievous Strikes
  • New questline event
  • Separate PvP and PvE balancing
  • Gamepad rebinding
  • Modifiers for New Game+ mode

On top of all of these boons, players can also expect ongoing weekly enhancements, though there hasn’t been any further explanation as to the when and why of these improvements:

  • Stability and performance improvements
  • Save game fixes
  • Multiplayer improvements
  • Balancing with PvE prioritization
  • More difficult boss encounters
  • QoL tweaks

Hexworks also plans to release a number of free events similar to the Halloween ‘Season of the Bleak’ event, each of which is supposed to introduce even more content and gear into the mix. “This is our small way of saying thank you,” says the announcement. “This is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather a snapshot of our internal developments, in our continual strive for better transparency and communication with you, our faithful Lampbearers of Mournstead.”

Players can, therefore, expect plenty of improvements to Lords of the Fallen in the coming weeks and months, which is great news for those who intend to stick with the game for a while longer.
