CI Games have released the Lords of the Fallen update 2.0 and its focus is on making it a better place to play together. Aww.
After more than 50 post-launch updates of varying sizes, Lords of the Fallen update 2.0 is one of the biggest yet. Key to this is the addition of Shared-Progression Cross-Play Cooperative Play, and the Free Friend’s Pass.
These parts of the updates help you not only make unified progress with online friends, but also bring in friends who don’t actually own a copy of Lords of the Fallen. I love it when games do this. It’s such a healthy way to keep online options alive.
Beyond that is a bunch of tweaks and fixes, but interestingly, this update includes a dedicated jump button! Now fiddly platforming will go a bit smoother, right?
Check out the big details from the Lords of the Fallen update 2.0 below.
