Lords of the Fallen PS5 Pro Upgrade Could Be the Perfect Excuse for a Trip Back to Mournstead
Lords of the Fallen is slated to receive an upgrade for the PS5 Pro that could let its players relive the action-packed adventure it brings to the table.
- Lords of the Fallen is a 2023 action RPG developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games.
- As a spiritual successor to another title sharing the same name, it was well-received both critically and commercially despite a few problems.
- A PS5 Pro version of the game promises to be the experience that Hexworks and its players would be most happy with.
Fans of Lords of the Fallen have a reason to rejoice. The 2023 action RPG developed by Hexworks and published by CI Games is slated to receive an upgrade for the PS5 Pro that makes major improvements to its graphical fidelity that could let its players see its haunting world of Mournstead in an entirely different light.
While the base game was well-received by both audiences and critics alike for the many improvements it made over its predecessor, its graphics and a few technical glitches were among the few complaints that held it back from truly taking its place among the best Soulslikes.
The Dark Crusader Makes Their Way to the PS5 Pro
Lords of the Fallen puts its players in the shoes of a Dark Crusader, a member of a covert group of fighters intent on preventing the resurgence of the demon god Adyr, whose influence on Mournstead is felt long after his imprisonment. With a lamp that lets them flit between the world of the living and dead, the Dark Crusader’s adventures were elevated by Mournstead’s excellent enemy variety and bosses working hand-in-hand with well-designed environments and gameplay mechanics.
However, complaints about the game’s excessive enemy mobs and other minor issues have caused Hexworks to release several fixes for the game, all of which are sure to make its PS5 Pro version the definitive Lords of the Fallen experience for newcomers and veterans of Mournstead’s somber world alike, with changes to its visuals that improve its pixel density by 40% to bring an upscaled 4K resolution at 60fps in Performance Mode or native 4K at 30fps in Fidelity Mode.
Lords of the Fallen Gets a New Lease of Life
The PS5 Pro upgrade is certain to bring back more than a few players to Mournstead for another trek through its many locations while newcomers to the Dark Crusader’s journey will be sure to appreciate its beauty in all its glory when the new console hits shelves and finally experience why it deserves to be considered among the Soulslike genre’s finest titles.
Indeed, fans of Lords of the Fallen are already excited to dive back in, with the Reddit post below and responses to it being a good example of how the news of its upgrade has them ready to take on Adyr’s minions one more time.
It is no surprise that many players, like the one below, are eager to get back into the action and save Mournstead from its grim fate once again.
Other players are hoping to see the game’s visuals get fixed after a series of changes aimed at improving its performance on the standard PS5 made several compromises to achieve that goal.
While it is a testament to Hexworks’ efforts to create a visually enthralling and narratively intriguing experience that allowed Lords of the Fallen to enjoy a successful year since its launch, the PS5 Pro version is certain to be seen as the culmination of those efforts, making it the game that the studio envisioned from the get-go for its players.
