Lords of the Fallen Season of Revelry is ready to escape to the Umbral for the winter.
HEXWORKS, a CI Games studio, has announced the start of the ‘Season of Revelry’ in Lords of the Fallen. The team behind this hit Souls styled dark fantasy tale began a two part festive campaign last night, giving players access to new weapons, quests, armor, and things to do while the turkey is basting.
Kicking off with ‘Offerings of Orius’ and continuing with ‘Trial of the Three Spirits’ on 21 December, the new add ins are part of a wider range of ongoing features and loot that Hexworks announced earlier in the year. For those that just want to know what to expect, check out the full details below.
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
Trial of the Three Spirits
- Trial of the Three Spirits: Three new questlines, three new armour 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 colour, 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
For those that didn’t see our hands on or thoughts on this dark crusade on initial launch, Lords of the Fallen is a refreshing dark tale of glory against the forces of evil. Taking plenty of Souls tropes, it provides players with tons of tools and an unforgiving world where darkness reigns. As an unnamed Dark Crusader, you’ll wield a unique power against that oppressive force, the ability to lap between two worlds. By exploring the Umbral and cutting through anything in the real that tans in your way, you might survive long enough to save Christmas.
