This update follows the recent version 1.6 update that improved onboarding and tweaked mob density. The dark fantasy action RPG will also be discounted down to 60% off on Steam when the update goes live. It is scheduled to launch today for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Based on ongoing community feedback and rigorous testing, we’ve made a notable upgrade to the combat system to improve character control, fluidity, and responsiveness. These changes are designed to lower the entry barrier for new players while raising the skill ceiling for more experienced Lampbearers, offering greater accuracy and character handling.
Roll Distance:
● Roll distance has been refined for greater player control and predictability, making evading attacks in response to perceived weapon range more effective and intuitive
Recalibrated Stamina:
● Stamina depletion has been recalibrated across the board to allow for more fluid and responsive character control both in and out of combat
Dodge/Animation Cancellation:
● The dodge/animation cancellation window has been increased to allow for more responsive, satisfying and accurate evasion.
Grievous Strike Button Prompt:
● Some players found it challenging to recognize when an enemy was vulnerable to a Grievous Strike. We’ve addressed this by adding an optional setting that provides a button prompt (R1, RB) when a Grievous Strike is available. This will be on by default but can be turned off in the menu.
Quality of Life Enhancements Quick Item Selector:
● Based on player feedback, we’ve added an option to control whether newly acquired consumable items automatically populate your Quick Access bar or not, giving you more flexibility in how you manage your inventory.
Automatic Vigor Pickup Toggle:
● Last week, we introduced automatic Vigor collection - a highly requested feature since launch. While the majority embraced this change, others have commented how this certain feature was unique and nuanced to the essence of Lords of the Fallen, providing an altogether more immersive experience. To accommodate all playstyles, we’ve added a toggle in the gameplay settings in the menu that lets you enable or disable automatic Vigor pickup based on your preference.
Umbral Enhancements:
● Exit points and Vestiges are now usable in Umbral regardless of whether enemies are nearby, to lesser player frustrations when attempting to leave Umbral.
Gerlinde Update:
● Gerlinde, the blacksmith, is an invaluable ally, but some players were missing her entirely, thereby missing the ability to upgrade weapons and purchase certain weapon runes. To address this:
○ If players fail to find Gerlinde early on, she will now automatically move to Skyrest Bridge after players reach Forsaken Fen, ensuring she is always accessible.
○ Players who locate Gerlinde in her initial holding cell can now make use of her services immediately, in order to avoid unnecessary backtracking to Skyrest Bridge. She will return to Skyrest Bridge afterwards.
○ Additionally, completing her quest and seeing her move to Skyrest Bridge rewards players with three small upgrade materials.
