Exciting news for fans of “Lords of the Fallen” as a substantial update, v.1.1.282, has been rolled out on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, bringing over 100 enhancements, fixes, and tweaks. This update is a significant one, primarily centered around improving stability, performance, addressing crashes, and resolving various bug issues.
The patch doesn’t stop at just technical improvements. It also introduces vital changes to the gameplay experience. Some key highlights of this update include:
1. Boss Challenge: Hexworks Studios has been responsive to player feedback and has made several bosses more challenging. Some players found certain bosses to be too easy, and now, bosses like Sanctified Huntress, Griefbound, the Sundered One, and a mysterious boss located in a dark place have become more formidable adversaries.
2. PvP Balance: To promote a more diverse gameplay experience, Hexworks Studios has taken steps to balance boss weapons and spells used in player versus player (PvP) encounters. Boss weapons now have ten levels, instead of five, and feature a modified upgrade curve. While still potent, they are no longer considered overpowered in PvP.
3. Improved AI: The artificial intelligence in the game has received refinements to make enemies more responsive. For example, the Scarlet Shadow, known for some quirks, has been enhanced to be more dangerous and harder to exploit by players. It can no longer be evaded using elevators or environmental assets to shoot without retaliation. Scarlet Shadow has also gained new traversal abilities, making it a more formidable foe.
4. Additional AI Polish: Beyond Scarlet Shadow, other AI elements have received enhancements, including enemy spawns in various locations throughout the game.
With such a significant update, players can expect an improved and more balanced gaming experience. The patch notes for this update are quite extensive, and you can explore them in detail on the Steam platform.
This update builds upon the previous improvements made to “Lords of the Fallen,” including the implementation of a New Game Plus mode, catering to players who have already conquered the game. The dedication of Hexworks Studios to enhancing the game and addressing player feedback is evident in these updates, ensuring an engaging and challenging experience for fans of the title.
