Lords of the Fallen 2 - New Dev: Will Start Over

@Eurogamer The new developers behind Lords of the Fallen 2 will start over but it will still be an action RPG.

"It's really a reset, it's a fresh start," Defiant Studios managing director David Grijns told me. "It's a new engine - Unreal 4 - and a new team. A team which does not have a long and illustrious background in action RPG development, but we actually see it as a strength."
