Developer Hexworks made a splash with Lords of the Fallen back in 2023. The studio’s first game had mixed reviews at launch, but built up a strong following as the months rolled by and various patches and tweaks were released. In 2025, the game sparked renewed interest by jettisoning body types in favor of male and female options in its character creator. The move earned the studio a lot of respect from fans, resulting in a great deal of enthusiasm for Lords of the Fallen II when it was announced. Now, Nintendo fans will be able to look forward to getting in on the action, as the game has been announced as launching alongside all other versions on Switch 2 this fall.
Here’s a rundown of what to expect from Lords of the Fallen II:
As bearer of the Umbral lamp, you can pass between the realms of the living and dead, each with its own pathways, treasures, and nightmarish creatures. From moonlit citadels to time-ravaged temples, tread carefully, for each step forward may well be your last. Whether with steel or sorcery, melee or ranged, you can experiment with countless builds to overcome each unique enemy encounter before delivering an arena-drenching execution.
Again, only a release window for this one, but fall will be here before you know it—and we’ll let you all know the exact launch date as soon as we learn it.
