2023 ended up being a banner year for Soulslikes made by non-FromSoftware studios. One of the more anticipated of the year's genre entries was Lords of the Fallen, the semi-sequel/reboot to the early Soulslike of the same name from 2014. While it was somewhat overshadowed by the release and reception of Lies of P, Lords of the Fallen continues to build a cult-following in the wake of its launch, with the developer even recently revealing that there are plans for a sequel. One aspect that helps to set Lords of the Fallen apart from its contemporaries is the frequency and speed at which its developer, Hexworks, is updating the game.
