Lords of the Fallen will release in the UK on October 31 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, Square Enix has announced.

The date pins the next-gen RPG up against Sunset Overdrive, WWE 2K15 and Assassin's Creed: Unity, which are all due for release the same week.

Developed by City Interactive, Lords of the Fallen follows the adventure of convicted criminal Harkyn, "the best of the worst of humanity", who sets out on a mission across a fantasy world to defeat an evil god. Some have even compared it to fan favourite Dark Souls, but Bratterz believes it may end up a little closer to Darksiders.

Look out for more later in the year.
