This Monday, Polish game developer CI Games announced that its games will no longer be exclusive to Epic Games Store. The news was disclosed in a public statement to shareholders.
According to the announcement, CI Games and Epic Games had entered into a ‘Separation Agreement’ that ‘releases [CI Games] from its obligations as provided in the Binding Publishing Term Sheet concluded by the [CI Games] and Epic on June 14, 2024.’ The ‘Binding Publishing Term Sheet’ in question is this publishing exclusivity agreement for Lords of The Fallen 2 that prevents CI Games from releasing its upcoming action role-playing game outside of the Epic Gamse Store.
The statement clarifies that this new ‘Separation Agreement’ will not affect the two companies’ ongoing relationship with regards to Unreal Engine development or Epic online services. This likely won’t affect current plans to bring Lords of The Fallen 2 to EGS.
Lords of The Fallen 2 was revealed to be an Epic Games Store exclusive ahead of its official announcement in 2025. The news was met with critical backlash from gamers, which CI Games’ CEO, Marek Tyminski, spent much of 2025 responding to, emphasising that Lords of The Fallen 2 would not have been without the support of Epic Games. After the game’s official announcement last August, CI Games reasserted that Lords of The Fallen 2 would remain a permanent Epic Games Store exclusive.
Last week, Tyminski uploaded a post to social media that hinted at the current deal. In the post, he announced that CI Games had successfully authorised raising capital to ‘accelerate distribution channel and strengthen [the company’s] position for upcoming releases (including Lords of The Fallen 2).’
