Lords of the Fallen 2 is now in full development, reveals the latest CI Games Product Roadmap, where there's also first word on a couple of other projects (thanks Eurogamer.net). Word is this will be an Epic exclusive promising: "Gameplay improvements; increased game mode optionality, more commercial art style and narrative, elevated production values." The other preproduction games are the next Sniper Ghost Warrior game codenamed Project SGW Evolved (2027) and another codenamed Project H (2028). Here's more on each of those:

Project SGW Evolved

Next major iteration in SGW franchise, built on UE5

Strong appeal to both core and wider audiences through combination of signature FPS gameplay elevated by survival genre elements

Development expedited by repurposing extensive components from Project Survive and SGW Next, including ideation, research, assets, and systems

Project H

New major action-RPG IP within highly commercial fantasy genre

Built on UE5 using systems and architecture from Lords of the Fallen and Project III

Efficient pre-production with lean team, until late 2025

Hexworks team begin off-ramp from Project III as Project H begins production ramp, maximising cross-studio talent allocation

They used Steam to build a community but completely overlooked that most Steam users are loyal to the platform and won't buy on EGS. If the "Major Investment from Epic Games" was the whole point of their strategy, then I guess they got what they were after. However, in doing so, they burned a lot of goodwill with their fans on Steam—fans who won't forget that they went exclusive on EGS.

Third-party PC exclusivity is a failed anti-consumer strategy.
