CI Games funded a sponsored video by TheBackgroundNPC to push Lords of the Fallen 2’s revealing female armor, a move critics view as pandering to misogynistic fans; the studio quickly defended itself by promising modest outfits too, while critics argue the marketing underscored superficial design choices rather than substantive gameplay.
A Push Square piece about Lords of the Fallen 2’s revealing female armor has ignited a heated, wide-ranging discussion in the comments about fantasy realism, gender representation, and DEI in gaming. Opinions range from defending the artistic and fantastical look and calling for more outfit variety, to criticizing marketing pandering and demanding balanced, practical options for all genders. The debate also draws comparisons to other titles like Stellar Blade and Dragon Age Vanguard, highlighting a broader industry conversation about how armor aesthetics are marketed and perceived.
CI Games has approved a capital raise that could be used to buy Epic’s PC exclusivity for Lords of the Fallen 2, and the CEO’s activity on social media has sparked speculation of a Steam (and possibly GOG) release, suggesting the game may launch on Steam day one or after a timed Epic exclusive.
