Lords of the Fallen 2 set to potentially release on Steam as developer CI Games and Epic terminate PC exclusivity deal

Lords of the Fallen 2, the third installment in the series, is progressing towards a tentative launch in 2026 after a gameplay showcase at The Game Awards 2025. CI Games has concluded its multi-year exclusivity agreement with Epic Games, allowing the game to potentially launch on Steam while maintaining collaboration with Epic for Unreal Engine and other services. The exclusivity termination is described as "conditional in nature." The console versions will remain unaffected by these changes. The game has sparked discussions due to comments from CI Games' CEO about "political correctness" and the introduction of more revealing armor sets for female characters. Eurogamer's review of the rebooted Lords of the Fallen rated it two stars, noting it as "a perfectly acceptable Soulslike" but critiquing it for "Soulslike clichés and performance woes."

‘RPG shooter’ Witchfire comes to Steam, and after a year of early access on Epic it’s finally turning into the game I always wanted it to be

Witchfire has been released on Steam after a year of exclusive availability on the Epic Games Store. The game has undergone significant enhancements, including the introduction of the Gnosis mechanic, which allows players to progress at their own pace. The Wailing Tower update added the Island of the Damned, designed to be welcoming for newcomers. The High Stakes update reworked calamities to be more deterministic, giving players a sense of control. The game's description has been changed to "a singleplayer RPG shooter" to better reflect its evolving nature. Players can seamlessly transfer their saved progress from Epic Games Store to Steam. Since its Steam launch, Witchfire has been a top seller, and the development team plans two major updates through 2025, with a full 1.0 release anticipated at the end of that year.
