RENTON, WA and AUSTIN, TX – December 11, 2025 – Wizards of the Coast and Archetype Entertainment today debuted the new trailer for EXODUS ™ at The Game Awards. The trailer provides fans with a more in-depth look at Jun Aslan, a hero on an epic journey across the universe to save a world on the brink of collapse.

CI Games Thrills Audiences with a First Look at the Bone-Breaking Soulslike Combat of the Highly Anticipated Action-RPG; Also Releases Final Major Update for Lords of the Fallen (2023
LOS ANGELES – Dec. 11, 2025 – Independent developer and publisher CI Games has revealed the very first look at gameplay of the highly anticipated action-RPG Lords of the Fallen II as part of The Game Awards (TGA). The hard-hitting new trailer, featuring a cover of “It’s a Sin” by chart-topping rock band Ghost, illustrates the game’s brutal soulslike combat against an array of fearsome, towering creatures amid an expansive world characterized by its trademark dual realms. Built on Unreal Engine 5, Lords of the Fallen II launches in 2026 on the PlayStation®5 system, the Xbox Series X|S console systems, PC via the Epic Games Store, and is available to wishlist now.
Lords of the Fallen II, currently in active development, is a new soulslike action-RPG set in a human realm besieged by eons of malevolent gods, visceral magic, and unflinching defenders. 1,000 years after the fall of the dark god Adyr, a lone kingdom stands against the forces of the dead realm known as Umbral and its eldritch master.
This eagerly awaited sequel is bolder, braver, and bloodier. As the Lampbearer, players can rend enemies limb from limb with a brand new dismemberment feature and silence them forever with all-new executions in a fast and fluid combat system. An even greater wealth of enemy types and truly jaw-dropping boss battles will test even the strongest in solo play or best-in-class shared progression co-op and optional PvP multiplayer. Witness a first look at three fearsome bosses in this first gameplay reveal, including the metal-encased Heartroot Warden and his chain-wrapped greatsword, the bewinged Koydreth striking from his rune-etched mirror, and the colossal dragon Lingao the Souring Storm harnessing the power of wind and lightning.
“We are excited to share this first gameplay look for Lords of the Fallen II at the TGAs,” said Game Director, James Lowe.“Designed and developed in accordance with our players-first philosophy, we look forward to seeing the community’s reaction to the faster and more brutal combat, the significantly greater enemy variety, and the more spectacular boss battle showdowns. And this is just the beginning…”
Lords of the Fallen (2023) Version 2.5 Update
To satiate fans as they wait for the release of Lords of the Fallen II, CI Games has released the final major update for Lords of the Fallen (2023). Version 2.5 introduces extensive reworks to enemy and boss behavior across both Legacy and the all-new Veteran Mode, and more:
Bosses Reborn: With combat now faster, tighter, and more aggressive, bosses, mini-bosses, and enemies throughout the game have received extensive behavior updates across both Legacy and Veteran mode, to increase the soulslike challenge. Bosses like Pieta feature refined combos and increased moveset variation while the Congregator of Flesh has received less staggering and tighter pacing. Mini-bosses will pressure players further with faster attacks, smarter positioning, and cooldown logic, while normal enemies go a step further with a new global cooldown system adding to their aggression, alongside faster spell recovery, and reduced attack distance.
Veteran Mode: Beyond these refinements lies Veteran Mode — the ultimate test of skill and endurance. Here, many of Mournstead’s bosses have been further empowered with faster transitions, new attack patterns, and even more aggressive behavior. Those that conquer veteran mode will earn a final reward – the Veteran of the Veil breastplate with a unique item drop buff.
Boss Weapons Reforged: Several boss weapons now feature new signature attack animations.
Version 2.5 is the culmination of over 70 updates forged through the feedback of more than 6 million players. For full patch notes, visit the official news feed.
CEO Marek Tyminski added, “We’ve been actively listening and engaging with our community since launch. This is exactly what they’ve been asking for and we’re delighted to provide it free for all owners – the final major update and the ultimate representation of our vision for Lords of the Fallen.”
CI Games will share more details in 2026 for Lords of the Fallen II ahead of its global launch.
