CI Games founder Marek Tyminski states the Epic Games Store exclusivity for Lords of the Fallen 2 will have minimal impact on players.
Exclusivity Impact on Sales
Marek Tyminski, CEO of CI Games, asserted that the Epic Games Store exclusivity for Lords of the Fallen 2 is unlikely to significantly affect its sales. He explained that most PC players keen on acquiring a specific game will purchase it on Epic if that is the only platform available.
While Tyminski did not disclose specific sales numbers, he mentioned that Games Sales Data across major regions like North America and Europe supports his claim. The exclusivity covers the first-year period post-launch, excluding the Asian market.
Game Development and Investment
Tyminski previously indicated that Epic Games made a significant investment in Lords of the Fallen 2, which helped alleviate development pressures. This followed the original title, which saw a three-year gap until the sequel’s planned 2026 release.
Comparatively, Remedy’s 2023 release, also Epic-exclusive, achieved profitability by the end of 2024, though specific PC data remain undisclosed.
Market Considerations
Few details about Lords of the Fallen 2 are publicly available, but its precedent as a major Epic-exclusive release will offer insights into the viability of similar future deals.
