Since its release in October 2023, the action RPG Lords of the Fallen has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, according to publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks. The game launched across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC platforms including Steam and the Epic Games Store. This strong sales performance highlights the growing appetite for challenging RPGs beyond major franchises.
The success of the 2023 title builds on the momentum of the franchise’s previous entries, attracting attention for its blend of intense combat and atmospheric world design. The game’s solid reception on next-gen consoles and PC has positioned it well within a competitive RPG landscape, which is increasingly dominated by open-world and narrative-driven experiences.
Lords of the Fallen 2026 sequel confirms release platforms
CI Games has confirmed a follow-up: Lords of the Fallen II is scheduled for release in 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via the Epic Games Store. The sequel’s announcement aims to leverage the first game’s fan base to drive even higher sales and to solidify the franchise’s place among challenging RPGs like Dark Souls and Elden Ring.
Mid-tier studios find success with traditional single-player RPGs
Despite the crowded RPG market, Lords of the Fallen’s sales milestone shows how mid-tier studios can achieve significant success with the right mix of gameplay and release timing. As more AAA developers shift focus toward live-service models, games like this attract RPG enthusiasts seeking traditional single-player campaigns with challenging mechanics, providing a distinct alternative in the genre.
