Lords of the Fallen Second Anniversary Update – Free Sword, New Patch, and Community Contest

Introduction

Two years ago today, the lamp was lit and Mournstead rose from shadow. Lords of the Fallen marked a rebirth - for our studio, for the franchise, and for every Lampbearer who took up the fight against Adyr’s dominion. Today, we celebrate our anniversary with a little gift to thank you for your ongoing support and belief - a brand new sword, Moon’s Judgement, free for all owners. This milestone also brings a new Update with some heavily requested QOL features, including inventory sorting, full armour equip, a pause button, co-op stability, magic balancing, and more. Additionally, we’re hosting a community contest to honor the creativity of our Lampbearers with three Collector’s Editions up for grabs.

Looking Back

Since launching on October 13th 2023, more than 5.5 million players have taken up the lamp and joined the journey in ridding the darkness. Along the way, we were honored to receive recognitions such as Best Soulslike Game of 2023 by Fextralife. That said, we’re also aware our launch didn’t meet everyone’s expectations,and we took that to heart. Your feedback has been invaluable, shaping how we evolved the game into what it is today…

Forged Together

We listened. We learned. We acted. Since launch, we’ve released over 70 updates, refining difficulty balancing, vastly improving performance and stability, overhauling combat to make every encounter more deliberate and rewarding, and introducing major features such as Shared Progression Co-Op, our Advanced Game Modifier System, Boss Rush modes, and the Free Friend Pass. None of this would have been possible without you. Your feedback, passion, and creativity have shaped Lords of the Fallen into what it is today, and continues to inspire what comes next. To mark this milestone, we’re gifting every Lampbearer an exclusive new sword set - ‘Moon’s Judgement’ - now awaiting you in your inventory.

Community Contest

From screenshots to cosplays, it’s clear that your creativity strikes true as any blade. To honor your craft, we’re launching our** Second Anniversary Community Contest** on r/theLordsoftheFallen, the official Lords of the Fallen subreddit. Our chosen champion from each category below will receive a Lords of the Fallen Collector’s Edition.

• Screenshot Contest – Capture the beauty and brutality of Mournstead.
• Fan Art Contest – Illustrate your vision of this world and its denizens. (AI-generated art will not be accepted.)
• Cosplay Contest – Embody heroes or horrors, the choice is yours.
• Video Contest – Whether it’s a showcase of weapon mastery or a rib-tickling moment of stupidity, send us your best Mournstead memories.

All submissions will be reviewed by the CI Games team, who will judge entries based on creativity, craftsmanship, and how faithfully they reflect the Lords of the Fallen spirit.

Submit your entry for the contest by posting on the dedicated threads above. Winning entries will be announced on Reddit and across our official channels once judging concludes.

Second Anniversary Patch (v2.0.101) Today, we’re also releasing a *Second Anniversary Patch (v2.0.101)*, bringing several highly requested improvements, including:

Magic Improvements

• Magic has been reworked to feel faster, smoother, and more rewarding.
• Faster Spellcasting: Reduced cast times across most spells.
• Cast interruption: You can now dodge out of casts earlier.
• Refined Mana Scaling: Adjusted growth through Inferno and Radiance stats.
• Spell Accessibility: Lower stat requirements make early-game magic more viable.

Improved Inventory Management Managing your items is now quicker and more intuitive. New sorting options let you organize by type, weight, upgrade level, armour set, and more. Navigation speed has been increased, and a one-button “Equip Full Set” option makes gearing up easier than ever. Scroll down to view the full list of patch notes and detailed fixes.
