Lords of the Fallen developer Hexworks has announced the release of update 1.5, its “final milestone” for the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S soulslike, as publisher CI Games turns its attention to future games in the franchise.

The Master of Fate update adds a modifier system that turns Lords of the Fallen into a roguelite, Hexworks said.

Here’s the official blurb on the Master of Fate update:

“Master of Fate imbues power directly into players’ hands, allowing them to fully customize their game experience. The modifier system, while not for the fainthearted, can even be enabled from the very first playthrough of Lords of the Fallen, throwing down the gauntlet to action-RPG veterans new to the game. Among the seven different modifiers available to players are randomized enemy spawns and loot drops, together with an Ironman mode; with these three modifiers enabled, Lords of the Fallen effectively becomes a roguelite.”

That's a pretty coop update. I guess it's time to buy this game.

I'm guessing that dreadful performance on release is fixed by now

At least that's what they themselves say in the video.... I would like a comparison to see if this is really what they say.

That's a cool update, especially for console players who don't normally get to tweak these options via mods.

I want to see how performance is now on console…

Played thru on PS5 about 3 months ago and it was solid 60 fps for me, no issues at all. In fact, it was a fantastic game. Loved my time with it.

I’ve been thinking of jumping in based on the visuals alone. I need a nimble but brutal class / build. Any suggestions so I can hit the ground running?

This game looks better and better for every update. The modifiers turning NG+ into a new and randomized experience is a cool addition. I hope this inspires From Software to make something with their NG+, I've always been disappointed with the fact that they never evolved their ideas of NG+ from Dark Souls 2.

Nice update! This is one of many titles still on my list to buy.

Put 100 hours into it at launch. Will give it another playthrough at some point when there's finally a lull from the stream of great game releases this year.

I played it on a mid-range PC and i don't recall having any performance issues. (12700k, 32 ram, 3080 10gb)

It's actually my favourite souls game ever, loved the dual world idea

How's the game running on console these days? I recall it was pretty hitchy at launch.

i wish this game was good, disappointment of 2023 for me.

 

[Kataploom]

I think it's time to get look for some comparisons, I had an eye put on this but I hate going bellow 60 for "reasons"

 

[kiphalfton]

So this is the last update, it sounds like? I don't ever play games near-ish launch so don't generally have to worry about half-fimished games.

 

[Bartski]

Game got a lot of flak but I really liked it nonetheless. It's a nice final update but not exactly enough to make me reinstall after platinuming it over 150 hours. Also the only soulslike of recent where I wasn't absolutely shit at PvP so half of that was multiplayer. Looking forward to the sequel.
