News: A new developer diary has been released for Lords of the Fallen discussing how the development got the game to look the way it does.

Lords of the Fallen was recently released and earlier today Bandai Namco released a new developer diary on the look of the game. The video describes the graphics engine that pushes new hardware (Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Steam) to their limits. By creating a new graphics engine, called Fledge, the development team was able to illuminate the game with complex lighting and material systems with hundreds of dynamic lights that bounce, reflect and create cascading shadows. The system also allows for realistically simulated cloth and physics simulation. All of this technology culminates in an ambitious and deep adventure with rich visuals and robust gameplay for new generation consoles.

Lords of the Fallen puts players in the role of Harkyn, a man who has accumulated numerous tattoos carved across his face due to a life of sinful transgressions. As Harkyn, players will battle in decrepit monasteries, dank catacombs and locations unknown across a planet ravaged by a ruthless god imprisoned for his greed. In Lords of the Fallen, players take part in an adventure that places a heavy emphasis on skill and persistence, challenging players to hone their abilities with a multitude of weapons, armor character upgrades and supernatural abilities.
