Lords of the Fallen 2 developer CI Games has definitely had some takes in the past, which have proven to be controversial on social media. Back in January, global marketing director Ryan Hill claimed that the game wouldn't "embed social or political agendas" in its story, claiming that doing so would affect sales, while the studio was also more recently bullied online for claiming that it was "carrying the torch" for soulslikes. To put it simply, it's not a stranger to backlash.
It's possible that this reputation has enabled others at CI Games to speak out about "political agendas" and the likes, as CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski has now joined Hill in claiming that Lords of the Fallen won't be "politically correct", and that the reason the first game had a "Body Type A/B" option was because "political correctness and filtering meant not every decision reached me on time."
Tyminski says that since he's become Head of Studio alongside his role as CEO, things are very different, and says that ever since 2020, CI Games has "reverted a lot of wrong decisions and will continue improving."
The most successful FromSoftware game is also its queerest.
I guess in some...
