Lords of the Fallen Version 2.0 brings major improvements to the online system, introducing a more refined multiplayer mode for two players to enjoy. While the seamless co-op structure remains intact, a key new feature allows players to revive each other during combat, making sessions more forgiving and cooperative play more rewarding. Multiplayer progression is now fully shared, so both players can advance through the game together, accumulating loot, unlocking shortcuts, and taking down difficult bosses.

Cross-platform co-op is also supported, allowing players to summon friends across different consoles or devices with no restrictions.

To use the Friends Pass in Lords of the Fallen, one player must own the game while the other downloads the free Trial version, available on all platforms. Both versions take up the same storage space since they include the full game content. To begin playing together, both players need to create a character, choose a starting class, and progress through the tutorial section.

Once they reach the first Vestige, which serves as the game’s resting point, they’ll unlock access to the Multiplayer tab. You can also upgrade your character here. From the Vestige, the player with the full game can beckon a friend, and the Trial player can join their session. Co-op progress is shared, so bosses defeated and areas explored will count for both players. PvP fans can also invade others online.

With Lords of the Fallen currently 70% off across most platforms, it’s a perfect time to grab it, dive into its brutal world, and experience the entire game alongside a friend.
