Recently, CI Games presented an all-new trailer for Lords of the Fallen 2 at The Game Awards, unveiling more of the game’s backstory and setting. It was lapped up by Soulslike fans worldwide, given that the first game was positively received and has also just been updated with a super-sized ‘2.5’ patch.
In a post on social media, CI Games’ CEO and the head of the studio, Marek Tyminski, reverted to his rhetoric about games needing to avoid political agendas. He stated in clear terms that Lords of the Fallen 2, slated for 2026, will feature ‘attractive female characters’ wearing ‘revealing outfits’.
From The Horse’s Mouth, LOTF2 Will Have Eye Candy
In a recent post on social media, Marek Tyminski, the CEO at CI Games, revealed some lore about the studio and the creation of Lords of the Fallen:
Many of you asked why the game initially had body type A/B.
Hexworks started early 2020 as an autonomous studio owned by CI Games. Early on, political correctness and filtering meant not every decision reached me on time. I got a lot more involved from late 2024 and now act as Head of Studio alongside my CEO role.
Things are very different now and the studio got fully integrated. We reverted a lot of wrong decisions and will continue improving. Lords II is being built on real player feedback, and it’s crystal clear in the last two trailers.
The comments under that post came from curious fans, and one user asked, ‘I’m gonna buy the game, definitely. Will there be attractive female characters, and will there be revealing outfits and armor for them?’
Marek simply responded, ‘Yes’.
He also went on to stress LOTF2 will be a ‘proper Soulslike’ and that soon enough, the team will release an unedited gameplay trailer.
When another fan pointed out that games should be fun and not ‘politically correct’, Tyminski wrote, ‘Correct’.
Early in 2025, Tyminski appeared on social media rebelling against forced DEI in games. He backed up a statement made by CI Games’ marketing director, which suggests that the studio wouldn’t shoehorn DEI elements into their games just to tick that political agenda checkbox.
Lords of the Fallen 2’s latest trailer has fans excited. Are you looking forward to the game? Let us know on the Insider Gaming Discord server.
