Lords of the Fallen hits shelves on October 13 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Developed by Hexworks, the souls-like title takes place in a gothic world bearing dark fantasy themes typically associated with FromSoftware titles. Being an RPG, Lords of the Fallen packs in many different classes, all offering a different approach to character creation.
