'Kingdom Of Fallen: The Last Stand' Gets May Release Date - Trailer

Kingdom of Fallen: The Last Stand is a hybrid of survival and Soulslike genres that tasks the player with not just beating enemies but creating and crafting their own means to do so.

You awaken on the border between life and death in a strange and undeniably cursed land to find your daughter missing and an unfathomable enmity surrounding you — do you give up, or do you fight to survive?

You need to gather clues of your missing daughter, using your own way to defeat fearsome bosses, fighting to survive, crafting to weaponize, building for your future, to reveal the secrets, and get out of this cursed kingdom.

The flames extinguish on a cursed kingdom. No light remains to illuminate your way, your precious memories slowly crumbling before you. As everything is about to end, could this new world be the salvation you seek? Or is it another false image served to you foreshadowing the exile of your soul?

On the border between life and death, you are transported to a blighted and unfamiliar land. Your daughter is missing and you can only save her by fighting your way through fearsome bosses. A dead man can’t save her, but by gathering all your will to continue living, you might just be able to rescue her and escape this bedeviled realm together.

Conquer this land’s harsh environments with your own two hands by crafting everything you need to survive. Build your own weapons to defeat ghoulish foes, construct your own armor to withstand their attacks, build a shelter to rest and respawn; build whatever you can to make it one more day. The strongest enemies can be felled more easily by crafting and preparing to even up the odds.

The different environments make for new opportunities for gathering distinct materials from different environments, encouraging players to seek beneficial resources beyond their beaten paths. Finding animals to ride — and even fly — makes traveling between different regions not only fast, but thrilling. With NPCs, quests, and trading, you may be taking on this journey alone, but you’re never without company.


Kingdom Of Fallen is inspired by other major Souls-like games, but is a more approachable game for all audiences. Mastering the game’s systems will tune the difficulty to your liking, giving you the challenge you crave while avoiding any unwanted frustration. Unrelenting bosses await your arrival to prove that you have the mettle to surmount their rampages.

There is no single path every player will follow in Kingdom Of Fallen. You will move toward whatever resource or vista calls to you, and discover resources to help you and enemies to block your way. In the game’s various environments, you will find different kinds of materials to create your weapons and armor, encouraging you to scour every region of the damned land to get stronger.

Dynamic day and night cycles, along with dynamic weather, will make every visit to a new area or on well-trodden ground a novel experience.

Beware, however, as not all creatures in Kingdom of Fallen are clear in their intentions. Magic books that claim to teleport you around the land are capable of lying and may send you places you are not fully prepared to go.

This blend of survival and Soulslike mechanics promises to be a compelling challenge for all kinds of players. Do you have what it takes to not only rescue your daughter, but survive the harsh kingdom that lies between the two of you?

Key Features:

  • Stepping Into Darkness: Explore various environments that each have unique resources to mine for better weapons and armors to encourage exploration. Deep dungeons will offer iron ores while beaches will offer flints for different and interesting crafting opportunities.
  • Enigmatic Ghouls: Enemies stand in the way of your exploration and range from simple yet deadly Knights to unfathomable wraiths. Bosses are no cakewalk and can take strong engagement with the crafting system to defeat.
  • Modulate your Difficulty: If you think a boss is too hard, you can go out and craft better equipment, but the player decides what “too hard” means to them. A boss that is too difficult for one player might be just the right level for another.
  • Fatherhood: Go on a quest to not only answer the questions of how you got into this kingdom, but why it seems to be holding you from reuniting with your daughter. Is any of this real? Is your soul more at risk here than your physical body? What awaits you at the end of this path?

Kingdom Of Fallen: The Last Stand is coming to PC (Steam) on May 15, 2024.
