Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks recently announced the release of the “Clash of Champions” update for Lords of the Fallen. The update features two previously unannounced ‘boss rush’ modes. Players can “now replay singular boss battles with previously vanquished foes or confront them sequentially in one of several grueling trials.” A new trailer was also released. Lords of the Fallen is available now for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
The full details via the publisher:
The update that throws down the gauntlet to players looking for the ultimate challenge. The update features two previously unannounced ‘boss rush’ modes for the dark fantasy action RPG; players can now replay singular boss battles with previously vanquished foes or confront them sequentially in one of several grueling trials. Both modes are playable either in single-player or with a fellow Lampbearer in online cooperative multiplayer. The update also includes additional performance improvements.
Today’s update closely follows version 1.5 update “Master of Fate,” the concluding part of Lords of the Fallen‘s post-launch content roadmap, released at the end of April. “Master of Fate” represented the culmination of over 30 post-launch updates, significantly improving performance, stability and difficulty balancing across the board, in addition to several substantial content drops. It also featured an advanced game modifier system, allowing players to customise several in-game mechanics (including number of enemies, randomised loot, and pre-upgraded weapons) to make their adventure easier, harder, or simply a completely new experience every playthrough.
Accessible through the game’s Vestige checkpoint markers, the Boss Rush modes feature two distinct experiences for players: “Echoes of Battle” and “Crucible.” While Echoes of Battle allows players to relive their favorite boss encounters, including Ellianne the Starved, Congregator of Flesh, and Radiant Sentinel, Crucible is a series of six increasingly challenging trials of pre-selected bosses that must be overcome without dying to unlock rewards, including Shrine Currency and exclusive new armor tincts.
