But both games are obviously deeply inspired by From Software titles. The open world, gameplay, and enemy design of the new 2023 Lords of the Fallen certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to games like Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.The new Lords of the Fallen is set in a world that’s five times larger than the 2014 installment. It’s divided into two parallel worlds, that of the living and that of the dead. You carry a lantern that can give you a glimpse into the other world, where you might find treasure or enemies.You play as a fully customizable character, with nine character classes to choose from. Along the way, you’ll amass an arsenal of weapons and spells as you fend off foes of all kinds, including enormous bosses that fill the screen. You can play the game solo, or team up with a friend in online co-op. Just like in the Soulsborne games, other players can invade your play session to challenge you.Other Preorder GuidesChris Reed is a commerce editor and deals expert for IGN.
