To everyone’s surprise, Lies of P carved its own little nook of fame and admiration. Developed by the dynamic duo of Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio, this action RPG has earned the trust of stingy Soulsborne fans, leaving players both enthralled and exasperated (thanks to its challenging gameplay).
Now, if you’re one of those brave souls who’ve managed to go through repetitive punishment and come out victorious, you might be wondering, “What’s next?” Well, folks, buckle up because Director Choi Ji-Won has some treats up his sleeve.
In a recent Director’s Letter, Ji-Won spilled the beans on what’s cooking in the Lies of P kitchen. A sequel is in the works, and DLC content is on the horizon (confirming something we already deduced from a job publication). More puppet adventures, more strings to pull, and undoubtedly, more challenges to overcome.
Ji-Won, in his letter, expressed a heartfelt thank you to the fans, acknowledging the game’s milestone of selling a massive one million copies. It’s clear that the success has fueled the team’s desire to give back to the community, and what better way to do that than to expand the Lies of P universe?
Now, the sequel is still wrapped in mystery, much like the foggy streets of the game itself. Ji-Won played his cards close to his chest, not revealing much but ensuring that the development team is exploring various paths for the next installment. Will we see more of Pinocchio’s dark journey, or will another fantasy character take the spotlight? Hopefully a combination of both, if we’re honest.
As for the DLC, Ji-Won teased us with sketches and a promise of more content, all while maintaining an air of secrecy. “I wish I could share all the details with you. But if I do that…I would undoubtedly face stern reprimands from my fellow developers,” he joked.
For those still battling their way through the game (hang in there, mate), you’ll be pleased to know that a November patch is on its way, addressing weapon balance, default stats, and much more. Plus, a special gift for the fans: Alidoro’s costume will be available as a skin, complete with his iconic mask.
Everything’s coming up roses for Lies of P fans. With a sequel in the works, DLC content on the horizon, and continuous support for the current game, it’s clear that Neowiz Games and Round8 Studio are not ready to cut the strings just yet. So, keep your wooden swords sharp and your wits sharper, because you’re going to need them when the next Pinocchio (or, insert your fairytale character here) adventure arrives.
