This list is subject to change and should not be considered a comprehensive list of all the known issues we’re tracking. The above is to inform you of the team’s current priorities, which will change as other issues arise or take precedence.

Greetings Lampbearers,

A couple of weeks ago, we launched our Lords of the Fallen Photography Challenge, promising to showcase our favourite screenshot on the iconic Nasdaq Building, situated right in the beating heart of the city that never sleeps - Lower Calrath Times Square, New York.

It is with zero hyperbole or exaggeration when we say we were absolutely astounded by the quality of artistry that came through. As always, you - our courageous Lampbearers - amazed us with your unyielding passion for the game.

Selecting just one from the 100s of stunning screenshots was NG+10 levels of difficulty, and we easily could have gone with any of the featured photographs below. That said, please raise your lanterns for Jan Gediga (@profjpg), and his captivating capture of Skyrest Bridge.



For us, this shot (taken on PS5) absolutely encapsulates the spirit of a formidable journey ahead, as our faithful Lampbearer looks up, steadfast and resolute, at the colossal construction looming over. The mood is fittingly sombre yet brooding, as clouds swirl overhead, while positioning the Scourged Sister Helm to provide an additional turret to the bridge is a nice, playful touch.

For those of you who call the Big Apple home, you’ll be able to spy Jan’s creation for two weeks from the 20th November onwards. In the meantime, feast your eyes over some of our other favourites below from the 100s we saw. And if you haven’t already, make sure you check out the free Lords of the Fallen content roadmap released earlier this week.

In Light, we Walk.

Hey everyone,

It’s been a while since I’ve updated you on development progress on Defender’s Quest 2 and I wanted to take some time today to give you an update on where we’re at.

Due to some family emergencies on the development team, we’re pushing the launch back to 2024 to give us time to take care of ourselves and our families. Your support means the world to us, and we want to make sure we’re releasing a game that lives up to our and our players’ expectations while ensuring the team is well looked after.

The game is in the final phase of development, which means we’re spending our time fixing bugs and putting the final bits of polish into the game. I can’t wait for you all to play it, but in the meantime here are some of the newest things I’ve added to the game:





We’ll be posting more updates as we lead up to launch. Thank you for being a part of this journey!

Hello everyone!

I have some exciting news. Beast Slayer is now available on Android. You can now take the retro open world of Beast Slayer wherever you go. It's pretty much a direct port, except for a few graphical and audio changes.

You can check out here on Google Play!
