Death of the Fallen (LOTF 3) PS5 planned?

[RadiantFlamberge]

CI Games SE has registered a trademark "Death of the Fallen" with the USPTO. Could this be Hexworks' Project 3, given that this would be the 3rd game in the LOTF series? The release date is said to be 2026, and it also is reported to be using Unreal Engine 5 just as LOTF'23 does.

 

Don't know if it will be Dark Souls style like the current LOTF, or try an open world like Elden Ring. They do mention "more ambitious gameplay options for wider audience appeal", so maybe the latter is possible. Either is fine IMO. The trademark filing doesn't guarantee anything in itself, but LOTF has recieved a fairly warm reception. So there's a good chance something comes of it. With three endings available in LOTF, it'd be interesting to see what CIG/Hexworks take as canon.
