Lords of the Fallen has been promoted to a girthy Version 2.0 by CI Games, described as including over 50 post-game updates – including a dedicated JUMP button for the vertically impaired.
But, there is a pretty massive addition to the game that will get folks and their friends onboard in a big way:
a free Friend’s Pass.
With an enormous FAQ dedicated to the feature, it’s pretty much what you would expect – a means to jump into the game with a mate and dominate some nasties:
The Free Friend’s Pass allows players who don’t own Lords of the Fallen to join a friend who owns the full game for the entire adventure in Standard Co-op or Shared Progression Co-op. It also grants full access to the character creator and tutorial area.
And it isn’t some half-baked implementation either – players will get to experience the entire game together with proper progression tracking, loot, the works.
Key Details:
- Character progress (levels, stats) and loot are saved between sessions.
- Only the host retains world progression (e.g., areas unlocked, quest progress).
- Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows Store.
This is because the initial co-op of the game has been improved – with the Version 2.0 of Lords of the Fallen offering a more involved co-op system – described below:
The Version 2.0 update introduces two co-op modes:
- Standard Co-op: An improved version of the original co-op, including shared world loot, shared boss loot, and the ability for co-op partners to revive the host. Quest progression is not saved.
- Shared Progression Co-op: A new mode that saves quest progression for both players, alongside shared loot and revive functionality, for a seamless multiplayer experience.
It is an absurdly robust implementation of co-op – well deserving of the enormous FAQ that details all of it. Every dot point you read just reveals how much thought and effort has been put into making this all work, and with a free Friend’s Pass to get your closest mate on board, it seems now is the perfect time to strap in for some Lords of the Fallen action.
Lords of the Fallen Version 2.0 is live now across all platforms for the game, so start prodding your friends list for a willing patsy to come and help you on your journey within Mournstead.
