Two years ago today, the lamp was lit and Mournstead rose from shadow. Lords of the Fallen marked a rebirth - for our studio, for the franchise, and for every Lampbearer who took up the fight against Adyr’s dominion.
Today, we celebrate our anniversary with a little gift to thank you for your ongoing support and belief - a brand new sword, Moon’s Judgement, free for all owners.
This milestone also brings a new Update with some heavily requested QOL features, including inventory sorting, full armour equip, a pause functionality, co-op stability, magic balancing, and more.Additionally, we’re hosting a community contest to honor the creativity of our Lampbearers with three Collector’s Editions up for grabs.
Looking Back
Since launching on October 13th 2023, more than 5.5 million players have taken up the lamp and joined the journey in ridding the darkness. Along the way, we were honored to receive recognitions such as Best Soulslike Game of 2023 by Fextralife.
That said, we’re also aware our launch didn’t meet everyone’s expectations,and we took that to heart. Your feedback has been invaluable, shaping how we evolved the game into what it is today…
Forged Together
We listened. We learned. We acted. Since launch, we’ve released over 70 updates, refining difficulty balancing, vastly improving performance and stability, overhauling combat to make every encounter more deliberate and rewarding, and introducing major features such as Shared Progression Co-Op, our Advanced Game Modifier System, Boss Rush modes, and the Free Friend Pass.
None of this would have been possible without you. Your feedback, passion, and creativity have shaped Lords of the Fallen into what it is today, and continues to inspire what comes next.
To mark this milestone, we’re gifting every Lampbearer an exclusive new sword set - ‘Moon’s Judgement’ - now awaiting you in your inventory.
Community Contest
From screenshots to cosplays, it’s clear that your creativity strikes true as any blade. To honor your craft, we’re launching our Second Anniversary Community Contest on r/theLordsoftheFallen, the official Lords of the Fallen subreddit.

Second Anniversary Patch Notes (v2.0.101)
This update brings meaningful changes across three key areas: co-op and multiplayer systems, combat and balance adjustments, and UI/UX improvements.
Exclusive Reward
All players will receive an exclusive new sword — Moon’s Judgement — now awaiting you in your inventory.
With this update, we’ve introduced a new blade designed to bridge the gap between Strength and Agility — a true hybrid weapon.
Its stat requirements reflect that balance, leaning slightly toward Strength but offering comparable scaling for both attributes. The sword features two Strength sockets and one Agility socket, delivering higher stagger and visceral damage, lower
