Lords Of The Fallen Publisher CI Games Won’t Implement ‘Any Social Or Political Agencies’ In Its Games

CI Games, the publisher behind Lords of the Fallen and Sniper: Ghost Warrior, has revealed during an investor call that it won’t be incorporating “any social or political agencies” in its titles, after the company was asked about its stance on “DEI in gaming.”

In response, Ryan Hill, CI Games’ Marketing Director, said that the publisher is focussed on “excellent user experience with compelling thematics and characters created specifically of core and adjacent audiences.”

While some video games have recently taken the opportunity to embed social or political agendas within their experiences, it is clear that many players do not appreciate this, and as a result, we have seen a number of high-profile releases underperforming commercially during the last year alone. Our games will always be developed to maximise player enjoyment and commercial success, and as such, we will not be integrating any social or political agencies into these experiences going forward having observed the high risk this can present.

In related news, developer Hexworks has confirmed that it is working on Lords of the Fallen 2, and is currently scheduled for release in 2026. The previous entry, which is technically the second game after 2014’s The Lords of the Fallen, arrived on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S in October 2023.
