Lords of the Fallen II PC Requirements Revealed Ahead of 2026 Launch
CI Games, the developer and publisher behind Lords of the Fallen II, has revealed the game’s official PC system requirements via its Epic Games Store page. While the game is still many months away most likely not launching until 2026, the listing provides fans with an early look at the kind of hardware needed to experience the upcoming Unreal Engine 5-powered sequel.

OS: Windows 11
CPU: Intel i7-8700 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Memory: 16 GB RAM
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT
Notably, CI Games has not yet provided specific targets for resolution, frame rate, or graphics quality presets, leaving these requirements somewhat vague. This suggests that further optimization details will arrive closer to launch.
Like its predecessor, Lords of the Fallen II will be developed on Epic’s Unreal Engine 5. The switch aims to leverage UE5’s advanced rendering technologies and streaming systems, potentially addressing the stuttering and performance issues that plagued the original Lords of the Fallen at launch.
Languages and Accessibility
The Epic Games Store page also confirms that the game will support subtitles in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish (Spain), Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Polish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Russian, ensuring broad accessibility for a global audience.
Unveiled officially at Gamescom 2025, the sequel is set centuries after the events of the original game. Players will once again explore the dual realms of Axiom (world of the living) and Umbral (world of the dead). The narrative describes Umbral’s encroachment on Axiom, threatening to consume existence itself. The dual-world mechanic will return, forming the foundation of exploration and combat design.
CI Games has openly acknowledged the rocky launch and criticism surrounding the original Lords of the Fallen and is positioning this sequel as a major comeback for the franchise. Drawing on extensive community feedback, the developers promise improved combat balance, refined mechanics, and the inclusion of long-requested features. Internally, the studio has even compared their vision to delivering an “Empire Strikes Back moment”, elevating the franchise to new heights.
With a 2026 release window, Lords of the Fallen II is shaping up to be one of the more ambitious fantasy action RPGs on the horizon, blending a dark dual-world setting with modern engine capabilities and a renewed focus on player expectations.
Do you think Lords of the Fallen II can redeem the franchise and stand alongside giants like Elden Ring and Dark Souls, or will it struggle to carve out its own space in the Soulslike genre?
