Discover the dark and surprising world of Lies of P, a Soulslike game based on the classic story of Pinocchio. From its early launch on Xbox Game Pass to the development of a sequel and DLC, this article explores the game's impact and future.
The Dark and Surprising World of Lies of P
Lies of P surprised the world when it was revealed to be a Soulslike game based on the classic story of Pinocchio, one complete with a seriously dark Bloodborne vibe.

It would surprise the world again when it would launch on Xbox Game Pass a day early. It was confirmed as a day-one game long before this, but Xbox, Round8, and Neowiz coordinating to drop it a day early was a very nice touch.
The game's day-one inclusion on Xbox Game Pass brought with it a host of benefits, one of the most significant being the almost instant community that the service provides. Game director Jiwon Choi described it as 'one of the best options for us to get the game into the hands of a large community of players' in a recent interview with Game Rant.
The Benefits of Xbox Game Pass for Lies of P
The instant community is no doubt one of the biggest benefits, but it's not the only one. As Choi described, the Xbox team provided plenty of marketing support for Lies of P, addressing the challenge that marketing presents to indie or smaller studios in the game industry.
Choi mentioned that the result of this marketing support was a huge number of players. This success has prompted Round8 and Neowiz to focus on turning Lies of P into a franchise, with both a DLC and a sequel already in development.
The news of a sequel so soon after the game's release is encouraging, and while the details of the DLC and sequel remain a mystery, the two revealed images hint at intriguing possibilities for the future of Lies of P.
The Future of Lies of P: Speculations and Possibilities
Not too long after its release, Choi confirmed that both a Lies of P DLC and a sequel were in development. The first image revealed for the DLC seems to be some kind of laboratory, while the second shows Lies of P's protagonist on a ship at sea, sparking speculations about the potential storylines and settings for the upcoming content.
Choi's hint at a Neverland DLC has left fans eager with anticipation, as they await further revelations about the future of Lies of P and the exciting expansions that may lie ahead.
