Lords of the Fallen v1.6 launches with a refined tutorial, balance updates, and umbral enhancements today
From Press Release:
Monday, 4th November 2024 – HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has today released update v1.6 for dark fantasy, action-RPG Lords of the Fallen, which delivers an enhanced onboarding and tutorial experience based on feedback from veteran players. The update continues the studio’s dedicated post-launch support for the game, with a more exploration-friendly Umbral realm, alongside a raft of additional gameplay and performance improvements. The release of v1.6 arrives ahead of Lords of the Fallen’s launch day debut for PlayStation®5 Pro, featuring a 40% increase in pixel density, with an enhanced Performance Moderunning at 4K60 based on 1440p, and Quality Mode running at a native 4K30.
To mark the release of Lords of the Fallen v1.6, the standard version of the game will be available on Steam at a 50% discount from 6pm GMT (10am PT, 1pm ET, 7pm CET) this evening until 11th November, at $29.99/£24.99/€29.99.
With version 1.6, new Lords of the Fallen players are better introduced to their journey across Mournstead, with a series of changes during the early part of the game. These include a more gradual onboarding into the Umbral Lamp’s unique abilities, and improved navigation in the tutorial area. As for the wider community, a highly-sought player request has been the ability to more thoroughly explore Umbral – the game’s secondary, darker realm that runs alongside its core world. While retaining its dark allure and tension, the changes – which include subtler soundscapes, an adjusted enemy spawn curve for improved pacing, and reduced vignette effect – all combine to better support exploration of the Umbral realm.
Rounding off the update is a raft of additional performance updates and further difficulty adjustments, including mob redistribution, adjusted ranged enemy perception, and improved platforming. Full patch notes are available to read.
Lords of the Fallen is now available on Steam and Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 5 Pro from Thursday 7thNovember.
