Sydney, Australia – June 10, 2026 – For the first time in the history of the franchise, independent developer CI Games will bring the soulslike action-RPG, Lords of the Fallen, to a Nintendo platform. As unveiled with brutal new gameplay* during Nintendo Direct, the highly anticipated Lords of the Fallen II will launch on the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system. Previously confirmed platforms include PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. With the 2023 entry recently surpassing 8 million players, CI Games is reinforcing its ‘players first’ commitment by bringing Lords of the Fallen II to all current gaming platforms, allowing fans to play wherever they choose.

Lords of the Fallen II on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers impressive Unreal Engine 5 visuals in both hand-held and docked modes, targeting a stable 30 frames per second. Using both Nanite and Lumen technology, the game achieves higher poly models and fully dynamic global illumination alongside other bespoke optimisations, thanks to careful engineering coordination between the development team, Epic and Nintendo.
“Our team is hard at work to ensure Lords of the Fallen II’s signature dark fantasy world and fast, brutal combat translate directly to the Nintendo Switch 2, and we’re very happy with how the game currently looks and plays,” said Game Director, James Lowe. “This marks the first time that Nintendo players will explore the realms of Axiom and Umbral, and these new Lampbearers deserve to experience the game at the best quality possible on a great platform. Thanks to the team’s work and the support from Nintendo and Epic, we’re confident it will be a fantastic way to play Lords of the Fallen II.”
CI Games is aiming to deliver a “bolder, braver and bloodier” evolution of its flagship franchise with Lords of the Fallen II, building directly upon extensive community feedback from the 2023 title and the lessons learned through more than 70 post-launch updates. This sequel pushes the series further into its signature aggressive combat style with an improved combat system designed to feel faster, more responsive and more satisfying than ever before, with brutal executions, expanded combat abilities and visceral dismemberments. Lords of the Fallen II will also feature a richer and more varied world, a significantly expanded enemy roster with biome-specific factions, more dynamic boss encounters, shared-progression co-op at launch and a more immersive Umbral realm.
Lords of the Fallen II is available to Wishlist on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and now Nintendo Switch 2. Developed by CI Games, the game will be supported by PLAION for global physical distribution and retail sales.
