Lords of the Fallen will be released later today and according to CI Games, it will never feature the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. Truth be told, CI Games never used Denuvo in its games. As such, we are not really surprised by this news.
We are pleased to confirm that Lords of the Fallen does not, and will never feature Denuvo.
— LORDS OF THE FALLEN (@lotfgame) October 12, 2023
Lords of the Fallen is a new Souls-like game that will be powered by Unreal Engine 5. As HEXWORKS has noted, the game will take advantage of Lumen, will feature really high-quality textures, and will be using UE5’s Chaos Physics for advanced simulation for clothes, chains, hair, and belts. However, I’m still not sure whether or not the game will be using Nanite.
CI Games will release Lords of the Fallen on October 13th. You can also find here the game’s official PC system requirements. Furthermore, the game will support both DLSS 3 and FSR 3.0 at launch.
For those wondering, CI Games has not provided us with a review code. As such, you should not be expecting a day-1 PC Performance Analysis. However, we’ll be sure to share our initial PC tech impressions as soon as the game comes out. Oh, and let’s hope that Lords of the Fallen won’t have any shader compilation or traversal stutters.
Stay tuned for more!

good, f*k denuvo
IGN gave it a 8/10.
Gamespot gave it a 5/10.
Eurogamer gave it a 4/10.
Auch.
Outside of BG3 and ToTK, which are excellent, there haven’t been many great games in 2023.
Almost all 2023 “AAA” games have been mediocre to bad…Hogwarts, AC Mirage, Starfield, Armored Core 6, Diablo IV, Lies of P, Immortals of aveum, etc. And now this one. None of those are great, they’re all mediocre to bad.
Those avenues are nothing but paid advertisers
Wait until the user reviews come out and then test it yourself https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6b6c6499c3871eb553a179d876ca1565cbe3a8b7c7c70dd2a2a9cd756d5a1083.png
steam user score is 43%
Based on 60 reviews and everyone is complaining about performance.
28% Steam user score now, based on 426 user reviews
All of it is performance issues, the game is literally crashing on startup.
Final Fantasy 16 was incredible and Lies of P is actually pretty good. Lots of other good games this year.
Final fantasy hasn’t released yet.
Armored Core 6 was amazing, Starfield while very flawed by loadings is till very decent game. Your taste just sucks if you think BG3 was good, you just like what big publishers like and clearly you are one of them, people who only like games that IGN gave 9/10 because you are unable to form your own opinion. No normal person cares what gaming uranlists say, no normal person cares what some steam crybabies say, play it yourself and then decide if its good or not.
For me only 2 point scale exists for games, games that are fun and games that are not fun, there is no need for any stupid 1-10 scoring system.
Somewhere on Earth, over the horizon… You can hear Captain Blackbeard raise the black flag and state “Let the games begin” on not the ships called the Nina, Pinta or Santa Maria but those of FLT, CPY or Rune.
” Truth be told, CI Games never used Denuvo in its games ”
wrong, the original release Lords Of The Fallen™ 2014 use denuvo infact it was one of game that use denuvo v3 along with MGSTPP and mad max. maybe it removed later because i heard this game released on GOG
Bruh, a lot of their titles used Denuvo. WTF did John just type.
The previous Lords of the Fallen was made by a different studio.
Yes it was, but that studio doesn’t use drm or Filth Denuvo. Deck13 games are all over GOG for years now.
Made by Hexworks not Deck13. And they did use Denuvo on release for Surge and the original LOTF
The original Lord’s of the fallen still have Denuvo on steam. I’ve been saying for years that it’s not always the publisher that makes these decisions, now all of a sudden y’all are ready to agree, except DECK13 doesn’t use DRM in their games and they are NOW owned by focus Entertainment. A publisher that ALSO DOESN’T USE DRM. The only time you see DRM in a focus entertainment game is when it’s JUST a ‘publishing deal’, like Atomic Heart. The point is this publisher is lying because they’ve used Denuvo in several of their titles. So, I don’t know why we are dragging this out. Unlike CI Games, all of deck13 games are in GoG or coming GoG. Either way, is it’s not in GOG it’s DRM. Steam ain’t no different from Denuvo. Steam is a DRM platform that is so damn easily cracked, I don’t know why they just don’t make the Fuqin thing DRM-Free at this point.
First Lords of the fallen had denuvo. It was probably the very first game using denuvo.
lol dude, the first game was rather infamous for using Denuvo.
Okayyee… but the game itself is like O. K.
“Truth be told, CI Games never used Denuvo in its games. As such, we are not really surprised by this news”
That’s a FUQIN LIE!.. Is this a Troll John? CI Games is a famous for using Denuvo. Lords Of The Fallen™ 2014 STILL HAVE DEVNUVO IN IT on STEAM, despite being on GOG! They’ve used Denuvo in a lot of their games. Is this an off season April FOOLS Joke? WTF did I just read.
This is what you get for releasing half-assed games.

33% Steam user score, based on around 1,000 user reviews
that’s lower than Gollum, which so far was the worst reviewed games in 2023
the majority of complaints are about hard crashes
but many complaints are also about the clunky gameplay like Gamespot and Eurogamer pointed out

I don’t think this guy is happy.

yeah we know that’s why we’re already playing it.
They must be crazy, everbody know that Denuvo grants you sales, protecting your game from the filthy pirates!!!!
S2 Love you Denuvo S2
