Hexwork’s reboot to their 2014 action role-playing game Lords of the Fallen is finally getting launched and fans can’t wait to get back into the parallel worlds of both Axiom and Umbral. The game has been deemed a Soulslike title since it is heavily inspired by such a video game genre.
Now that Lords of the Fallen is one of the hot topics in the gaming scene as of late, the community can’t help but compare it to 2022’s Elden Ring from FromSoftware. Some are even musing on the idea that the former is connected to the latter. Are their stories intertwined?
Are Lords of the Fallen and Elden Ring Connected?
To squash such speculations, there’s no correlation between the two games. However, there’s no denying that there are some similarities. Cezar Virtosu – Hexwork’s creative director, revealed during an interview with Edge that when details about Elden Ring were released, they were pretty much disheartened. Moreover, he went on to claim that one of the weapons and bosses in their game has striking similarities with that of Elden Ring.
- Explore A Vast, Interconnected World: Journey across two expansive, parallel worlds in your epic quest to overthrow Adyr. While the living realm presents its own brutal challenges, untold terrors lurk in the nightmarish realm of the dead. Encounter a wide array of characters, eager to offer a dubious hand…
- Define Your Own Legend: Fully customise your character’s appearance from a wide array of visual options, before selecting one of nine character classes. Whichever starting path you take, develop your character to your own playstyle by upgrading stats, weapons, armour and spells.

- Wield a Device of Ungodly Power: Your lantern possesses the ungodly power to cross between worlds. Use this dark art to reach forgotten places, unearth fabled treasures, and even manipulate the very soul of your foe.
What Are The Similarities Between Lords of the Fallen and Elden Ring?
It’s not just some of the weapons and bosses that got noticed. Some of the in-game mechanics were also observed by players to have some resemblance to some degree. Some of these include the riposte and parry mechanics, magic skills, specifically their respective pyromancy skills, and voice acting.
Now, you are made aware that the stories of both Lords of the Fallen and Elden Ring are not intertwined, though there’s a degree of sameness in some of their in-game elements. You can check the above-mentioned similarities yourself when the former is officially launched this October 13 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
