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

The remake completely missed me (I was completely surprised that it had enough success for a remake) and it's surreal to me that a sequel will be made.

It's not a remake. It's a reboot. The dev of the original game was Deck13 (the guys who later made 'The Surge'). The new game is by a completely different dev. As for its success, well, it's a souls-like. Most games in this genre sell like hot cakes so I'm not surprised it's getting a sequel.

From their FAQ (the 2023 version):

Q. Is Lords of the Fallen a sequel or a reboot of Lords of the Fallen (2014)?

A. Lords of the Fallen is a full reboot of the original 2014 action-RPG game, Lords of the Fallen (2014), and takes players on an all-new adventure.

As a spiritual successor, it pays homage to the original while also fully modernising and reimagining the franchise, largely in response to fan, media and influencer feedback from the original game.

Taking place in the same universe, Lords of the Fallen is set approximately 1000 years later, and features a fully revised art direction, combat system and narrative design, in a world over five times bigger than that of its predecessor. In addition, it sets an entirely new precedent of production quality across the board, and is being developed by a new in-house team of industry veterans, HEXWORKS.
