Cezar Virtosucreative director of The Lords of the Fallen, recently revealed that the team working on the game at Hexworks He “prepared for shock” upon the release of Elden Ring, waiting to see how similar his game was to FromSoftware’s latest RPG.
In a recent interview with Edge magazine (thanks, GamesRadar), it was also revealed that The Lords of the Fallen not only features similar design aspects to Elden Ring, but also has a boss that looks a lot like Malenia.
Malenia “Miquella’s Sword” it’s a name that will send most Elden Ring players shaking and sinking into warlike memories of the time spent trying to defeat this incredibly tough foe. So if we’re going to have a similar enemy in The Lords of the Fallen, we can only pray I hope it’s not that hard to beat.
Virtosu also said that the comparison with the Soulsborne series puts a lot of pressure, especially after the release of Elden Ring. “People asked me, ‘Do you have horseback combat? Do you have an open world?’
But it seems the developers of The Lords of the Fallen deeply appreciate the influence of FromSoftware’s work. “Miyazaki is our father and grandfather,” says Virtosu. “Without him, we wouldn’t have a job.
