Lords of the Fallen free content roadmap outlined
As performance patches continue.
Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks has laid out its 2023 roadmap for the Soulslike.
A number of free content additions are in development, but perhaps most intriguing is a new questline event - presumably to extend the core storyline.
The plan also includes ongoing weekly enhancements, including stability, performance, save game fixes, multiplayer improvements, balancing, increased boss difficulty, and other quality of life tweaks.
Hexworks has already launched a Halloween event for the game, which is now a permanent addition, as well as a reduction in mob density to ensure players aren't overwhelmed by enemies.
It's unclear what specifically is next in line, but updates are set to include:
- Umbral, Rhogar and Radiant armour sets and questlines
- Two new spell packs
- Two inventory expansions
- New Grievous Strikes
- Additional secret boss weapon abilities
- Gamepad rebinding
- Split PvE and PvP balancing
- New Game Plus and modifiers
New Game Plus was already tweaked in a patch in October, but the notes stated a full modifier system was on the way.
Lords of the Fallen has already received plenty of frequent patches since its release on 13th October. The most recent patch increased the difficulty of some bosses, as well as the Scarlet Shadow reaper in Umbral.
The game was criticised in reviews for its poor performance across all platforms. However, each update to the game has improved the experience for players. Digital Foundry has a review of these patches on the way.
And with this roadmap, updates are set to continue at least until the end of the year. It's great Hexworks is supporting its game, though many of these improvements would have been welcome on launch day.
