Lords of the Fallen “revels” in new season

I don’t know that I’ve ever looked at a Soulslike and thought, “this could use some seasonal content”. That said, I don’t hate the idea of fresh stuff to engage with in my video games. Lords of the Fallen has us diving into a “Season of Revelry” this week, with not only new quests and weaponry, but incoming festive offerings as well. All of the details are below, check it out and get your game updated!

Thursday, December 14th, 2023 – HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has announced the start of the ‘Season of Revelry’ in Lords of the Fallen. Part one of this two-part free, festive content update for the dark fantasy action-RPG kicks off today with ‘Offerings of Orius’ and continues 21st December with ‘Trial of the Three Spirits’. Between the two parts, ‘Season of Revelry’ introduces a whole host of new features, including three brand-new quests that each unlock a new and unique armor and weapon set, new spells, finishing moves, projectiles, all-new snowball fights, and more!

Season of Revelry Features:

Out now – Offerings of Orius

• New spells: Six new spells, including the devastating Immolation, Radiant Shield Throw, and Holy Arrow Shot, further expanding the already wide range of magic-based attacks

• New projectiles:  Players now have three new projectiles at their disposal, including Blood Vomit, Explosive Mines, and Frost Worms, with which to dispatch foes from afar

• New boss weapon abilities: Following a highly positive community reaction to the introduction of boss weapon abilities in an earlier update, players can now unlock uniquely powerful abilities for all boss weapons, including an eruption of bouncing flames with the Abbess’s Greatsword, and a torrent of burning blades with the Father of Misery’s Greathammer… once certain ‘secret tasks’ have been performed

• Seasonal decorations: The Vestiges of Mournstead have been humbly adorned with festive decorations in celebration of the Season of Revelry

December 21st – Trial of the Three Spirits

• Trial of the Three Spirits:  Three new questlines, three new armor sets, three new weapons. Each representing one of the three gods – Orius’ Radiance, Adyr’s Rhogars, and the mysterious Umbral – players will need to overcome some arduous ordeals to reap such rewards

• In-game character appearance reset: A highly requested community feature, players will be able to change their character’s name, body shape and gender, skin tone, hair color, and other physical attributes… once they complete a new quest to find the shards of the Mirror of Distortion

• New Grievous Attacks: Every family of weapon now has two unique finishers, one for single-handed wielding, and one for two-handed wielding

• Storage Box: Another much-sought feature, players will be able to deposit up to 2,000 items in the Skyrest Bridge Coffer to help free up inventory space

• Gamepad Rebind: Players will have the ability to rebind gamepad buttons, having been able to remap mouse and keyboard since launch

• SNOWBALL FIGHTS! Another new throwable, players can now launch snowballs at enemies or invaders alike

HEXWORKS has also confirmed that updates to Lords of the Fallen will continue into 2024 with the rollout of the remaining new features and enhancements laid out in the content plan announced last month. These will include further refinements to PvP and PvE balancing and the release of the genre-leading New Game Plus modifier system, which will allow players to comprehensively change and set their New Game Plus experience.

Lords of the Fallen is now available for PC on Steam and Epic Games Store, Xbox® Series X|S, and PlayStation®5.
