Recently, Lords of the Fallen received a massive 2.0 update that overhauled numerous aspects of the game. And, because of the large-scale changes, the RPG from Hexworks hit a peak of 11,647 on Steam in the last 24 hours, which is over 20 times more than the 544 users it had before the update came out.

The CEO of publisher CI Games, Marek Tyminski, also noticed this trend and posted on X about the increase in players, thanking the fans for sticking by the game even 18 months after launch, saying it meant everything to him and the team.

Tyminski also stated that due to this new upheaval in sales, the studio will break even in the near future. Hence, Lords of the Fallen has again helped its developers out of a difficult spot in a very challenging industry climate.

Lords of the Fallen
A sequel to Lords of the Fallen is reportedly releasing next year.

The game also generated significant revenue upon its initial release, selling a million copies in just 10 days, despite receiving numerous negative reviews on Steam. Furthermore, Lords of the Fallen has generated over $60 million in revenue as of last year, and this number is expected to increase further with the update and the forthcoming sequel.
