Lords of the Fallen, the next-gen RPG by senior producer of The Witcher 2 Tomasz Gop, has landed its first pre-rendered trailer.

Described as “hardcore”, “challenging” and looking somewhat like a fancier Dark Souls with a high-fantasy vibe, Lords of the Fallen was officially unveiled earlier this year and was playable at E3.

LORDS of the FALLEN is an action-RPG featuring advanced combat systems and robust class skill trees. Set in a richly created fantasy world where the Gods have failed mankind, players will take on the role of a human named Harkyn who sets out on a quest to stand against an apparently unstoppable supernatural force. Players travel across a world that is deeply divided by those who follow, and others who resist, the Fallen God. Along their journey they will be faced with a series of decisions that will alter both their gameplay experience and their character.

Due to be released for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Lords of the Fallen is developed by German studio Deck 13 in collaboration with and published by Polish studio CI Games. Check out the action-packed trailer below.

Fighter Within Announced with Trailer

Ubisoft has announced a new exclusive for the Xbox One at GamesCom today, in addition to the other games it is showcasing there, with the new Kinect fighting game Fighter Within. Don’t worry about not being at GamesCom if stuck at home, as Ubisoft has released a trailer (embedded below) giving a nice teaser for the game and what players will be able to do in it.

From the trailer the game seems set on letting players unlock their inner fighter no matter who you are or what you do, though it should probably be a good idea to use loose fitting clothes regardless. In terms of Fighter Within itself, there isn’t too much to see a few clips showing the game combatants beating the snot out of each other, but whether these are the actual in-game graphics remains to be seen.

Overall, a nice taste of what is to come with more information for Fighter Within, though if the graphics are actually in-game it does look pretty good. Slated for release during “Holiday 2013” players can expect it to come out shortly after or the same time as its exclusive console Xbox One.
