Lords of the Fallen 2 boss says Epic Games Store exclusivity doesn’t matter because the “majority of PC players who want a specific game will buy it” anyway

Lords of the Fallen 2 will launch exclusively on the Epic Games Store for PC. Marek Tyminski, CEO of CI Games, believes this decision will have minimal impact on the game's audience, as most eager PC gamers are likely to purchase it from Epic. Sales data from North America and Europe supports this assertion, while figures from Asia will be excluded for the first year post-launch. Epic made a "significant investment" in the project, which may have eased financial pressures on the development team. The game is scheduled for release in 2026, and its director has hinted at exciting developments in level design and captivating characters, with fans eager for gameplay enhancements.
