Lords of the Fallen 2: developer ends exclusivity deal with Epic Games

The development of Lords of the Fallen 2 has recently taken an important turn. CI Games, the developer and sole owner of the intellectual property, has ended its exclusivity deal with Epic Games, opening the door to a possible release on Steam.

Background of the exclusivity deal

In 2024, CI Games signed an agreement with Epic Games for the exclusive distribution of Lords of the Fallen 2 on the Epic Games Store. This meant the game would only be available through that store for PC players.

End of the deal

On May 20, 2026, CI Games announced that the exclusivity deal had officially ended. The company posted a separation agreement with Epic Games, stating that the agreement was concluded on April 14, 2026. The announcement was delayed to protect the company’s legitimate interests.

Impact on the game

The end of the deal does not affect the Epic assets used in the development of Lords of the Fallen 2 , such as Unreal Engine 5. This means Epic Games’ technical support partnership should continue, but the path to a release on other platforms such as Steam is now open.

Future expectations

Although CI Games has suspended its partnership with Epic in terms of exclusivity, there is still no official confirmation about Lords of the Fallen 2 being available on Steam. The game, scheduled for release in 2026, remains focused on consoles, including Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

The upcoming title is the third in the Lords of the Fallen series, which was recently rebooted and has drawn a lot of interest from fans of the genre. CI Games previously confirmed that the game will center on battling gods who were originally allies of the players.

These changes could have major implications for the game’s sales and reach. With the deal broken, CI Games hopes to reach more players by maximizing availability on larger platforms.
