Naughty Dog Layoffs Spark a New Batch of Controversy

Lies of P, the latest Soulslike game, stands apart from its fallen imitators by successfully capturing the beloved elements of FromSoftware's action-RPGS. Although no official announcements have been made yet, a Korean job board allegedly states that Neowiz has plans for producing downloadable content (DLC) for Lies of P.
