Lords of the Fallen Story Trailer Dives Into Its Dark and Twisted World

A few weeks ago, we were given an extended look at Lords of the Fallen gameplay in all of its grim glory. Today, Gamescom opened by giving all of that brutal combat additional context with a story trailer. As a fabled Dark Crusader, you will venture forth to overthrow the demon god Adyr. Doing so will require traversing between two planes: one of the living and the other of the dead.

Check out the narrative primer below:

Lords of the Fallen introduces an all-new, epic RPG adventure in a vast, interconnected world more than five times larger than the original game.

After an age of the cruelest tyranny, the demon God, Adyr, was finally defeated. But Gods… do not fall forever. Now, aeons later, Adyr’s resurrection draws nigh. As one of the fabled Dark Crusaders, journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in this expansive RPG experience, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling. Will your legend be one of light… or one of darkness?

Lords of the Fallen will release on October 13th on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
