CI Games recently confirmed the already announced Ancient Labyrinth DLC for Lords of the Fallen has been delayed until developer Deck 13 finishes work on the next patch for the base game.
Since its launch back in October 2014, Lords of Fallen has been plagued by lots of issues, as well as game breaking bugs. The game also has performance issue, as many players complain it’s not well optimized for PC.
While some of these major problems have already been addressed, there are still some that need to be fixed and Deck 13 promised the next patch would correct some of them.
Since CI Games announced Lords of the Fallen would be getting a new DLC in late January, many players complained that developers should first focus on fixing the game instead of adding new content.
It looks like both CI Games and Deck 13 have taken note of the feedback and have decided to deliver the new DLC, along with next patch that are already working on.
A new release date will be announced soon
Since the patch isn’t ready yet, the Ancient Labyrinth DLC has been delayed until the update is ready. An exact release date hasn’t been provided so far, but CI Games stated that they would share a new date soon.
There’s a high chance that both will be delivered in February, though Deck 13 and CI Games are still in the process of narrowing down the release date for the patch and Ancient Labyrinth DLC.
Lords of the Fallen is available on Steam for €49.99 ($49.99) and there are already 5 DLC packs that contain various items up for grabs.
Some of these DLC packs have been offered as bonus for those pre-ordering the game. Ancient Labyrinth will be the first DLC to bring new missions for Lords of the Fallen. There’s no news on price tag, but it’s worth mentioning the game does not feature a Season Pass.
As you know, we were supposed to release Ancient Labyrinth in January along with the patch. We don't want to release the DLC without fixes.
