Um Lords of the Fallen 2 (ab 26,99€ bei kaufen) ist es lange Zeit verdächtig still gewesen. Doch jetzt hat sich der polnische Entwickler und Publisher CI Games zurückgemeldet und verkündet, dass sich der Nachfolger zu Lords of the Fallen nach wie vor in Entwicklung befinde und man sich für die Fertigstellung des Action-Rollenspiels mit Defiant Studios zusammegetan habe. Das 2016 von David Grijns, dem ehemaligen Chef der Avalanche Studios New York, gegründete Studio habe den Zuschlag erhalten, da sie das beste Gesamtpaket geboten hätten.

"We talked to a number of globally respected studios that had shown a strong interest in making the next LotF, and received several solid pitches. We finally decided to move forward with Defiant because we were impressed with their game concept, production expertise, and the pedigree of their developers," so CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski. "Defiant is made up of some the industry’s most talented creators, and we are thrilled to have them create the sequel to LotF. We look forward to bringing their next big game to the global market on consoles and PC."

"We have been talking with CI Games for several months now, and went through a detailed process of getting to know one another's expectations and motivations in regards to Lords of the Fallen 2. We are happy that we can commit our studio to developing a great game in a well-established franchise. Our team has been excited about the chance to make the next LotF from the moment we started to work on our pitch for CI. We are particularly thrilled about the creative freedom that CI Games is willing to offer", so Defiant Boss David Grijns.
