CI Games and HEXWORKS said that they were working to polish up Lords of the Fallen with a series of patches to add new gameplay mechanics, and they’re looking to start off on the right foot with the game’s Halloween event. This free time-limited event is on now until November 2nd, and brings the expected seasonal makeover with a brand-new questline which will allow players to attain what’s referred to as the ‘Pumpskin Mask’.
The Halloween event coincides with the all-platform release of a significant update for Lords of the Fallen – The Pumpkin Patch – that brings a series of new gameplay mechanics that were developed following ongoing community feedback.
The Pumpkin Patch update includes:
- Revamped New Game Plus (NG+) – A new tiered NG+ system introduces Vestiges to the game mode; each higher level of NG+ removes more Vestiges from the game, increasing player difficulty.
- Full crossplay – Players can now experience full crossplay functionality between all PC and console platforms. This follows the introduction of crossplay between Xbox Series and PlayStation 5 players for the first time earlier this week.
- Reduced enemy density – A reduction of the enemy density in areas observed as being most challenging for players.
- Performance & stability – Further performance and stability fixes across all platforms.
Lords of the Fallen is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series.
