Here is an overview of the update, via CI games:

“Master of Fate” is the culmination of over 30 updates since launch, resulting in significant improvements to performance, stability and optimization, alongside rigorous difficulty balancing in response to user feedback. The update also delivers the final milestone of the game’s extensive post-launch roadmap: the Advanced Game Modifier System.

“Master of Fate” concludes a weekly cadence of new content and quality of life enhancements for Lords of the Fallen vastly improving the experience for players, including:

Significant performance, optimization, and stability improvements.

Rigorous difficulty balancing including mob density reduction and nerfed ranged attacks.

Split player-versus-player and player-versus-environment game balancing.

Online multiplayer enhancements for improved matchmaking and connection stability.

New questlines including Season of the Bleak, Trial of the Three Spirits, and Way of the Bucket.

New armor and weapon sets.

Additional secret boss weapon abilities.

Improved boss encounters with additional movesets and new AI.

12 new spells including the arena-devastating Immolation.

New grievous strikes: each weapon family now features two unique finishers: one for single-handed wielding and another for two-handed two-handed wielding.

Three new projectiles: Blood Vomit, Explosive Mines, and Frost Worms.

QOL updates including: Inventory expansion, appearance reset, storage functionality, and gamepad rebinding.

The latest new feature—the Advanced Game Modifier System—places power directly into players’ hands, allowing them to fully customize their game experience, using any combination of seven modifiers, to make the game easier, more difficult, or simply a completely new experience every time. Modifiers include the ability to randomize enemies, alter mob density, and even enable a form of permadeath.

“We’d like to thank the many players who have embarked upon Mournstead since we launched six months ago; their belief in our vision has been a real driving force for us,” said Hexworks executive producer and head of studio Saul Gascon in a press release. “In response to their support for the game, we expanded the period of live support for Lords of the Fallen with an ambitious post-launch roadmap. This was built around four significant content updates, alongside numerous smaller releases, which included tons of new content and major performance and stability improvements. Reaching version 1.5 with the ‘Master of Fate’ update and its genuinely groundbreaking modifier system marks the completion of that roadmap, making the Lords of the Fallen experience the best it’s ever been.”

Lords of the Fallen is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic games Store.
