Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks has announced the release of the brand new Pumpkin Patch Halloween event for the recently released action RPG Lords of the Fallen. The event will run from now until November. The update decorates the game’s world of Mournstead with seasonal cosmetics. Players can also pursue a new questline “to attain the Pumpkin Mask, a horrifying helm inspired by the iconic jack-o’-lantern.” The update will also add the New Game Plus mode, re-enable the full crossplay functionality that was recently disabled, and more. Lords of the Fallen launched on October 13 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. In the game, players will “journey through both the realms of the living and the dead in this expansive RPG experience, featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling.”

The event coincides with the all-platform release of a significant update – The Pumpkin Patch – that brings a series of new gameplay mechanics developed following ongoing community feedback .The Pumpkin Patch update includes:
Revamped New Game Plus (NG+) – A new tiered NG+ system introduces Vestiges to the game mode; each higher level of NG+ removes more Vestiges from the game, increasing player difficulty.
Full crossplay – Players can now experience full crossplay functionality between all PC and console platforms. This follows the introduction of crossplay between Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation®5 players for the first time earlier this week.
Reduced enemy density – A reduction of the enemy density in areas observed as being most challenging for players.
Performance & stability – Further performance and stability fixes across all platforms.
HEXWORKS is also inviting players to submit in-game photos created using Lords of the Fallen’s unique 3D Photo Mode to be considered for display in one of the most prominent and well-known public spaces in the world: Times Square, New York City. The screenshot, which must encapsulate the player’s experience of Lords of the Fallen – whether that’s an epic adventure, a harrowing crusade, or a white-knuckle expedition through the nightmarish realm of the dead – will feature on the NASDAQ® Building for two weeks from 26th November.
