Brand-new Soulslike game Lies of P is a massive hit, securing mostly positive reviews and selling 1 million units within its first month of release. Some fans weren't entirely sold on Lies of P after playing the demo, but developer NEOWIZ made some adjustments based on that feedback, and it seems those tweaks have made all the difference for the fairytale-inspired Soulslike game.
Lies of P earned mostly positive reviews at the time of its release, with a great deal of praise for its graphics, adrenaline-fueled action, and atmospheric game world. Lies of P's difficulty spikes have been knocked, but otherwise the game has been embraced by the Soulslike community. This is evidenced not only in Lies of P's high review scores, but also with the game's sales, as the unproven IP has managed to sell 1 million units before it's even a month old.
New Hard Souls-Like Can Be Beat in Less than 2 Hours
An avid speedrunner manages to beat the latest critically acclaimed Souls-like in under two hours mere weeks after its release.
NEOWIZ has confirmed that Lies of P has officially sold 1 million units within 1 month across its various platforms. NEOWIZ also highlighted Lies of P's reception from both fans and critics, with the Soulslike earning north of an 80 overall rating on all systems and securing 89% positive user reviews on Steam. The developer also teased that it would be sharing what the future holds for Lies of P "when the time is right," so fans of the Soulslike Pinocchio game should be excited.
While full reveals haven't happened yet, fans already have a pretty good idea of what to expect from Lies of P's future. It's been confirmed that Lies of P DLC is in active development, which should give Soulslike fans that have already conquered the game a reason to return. The scale of the DLC remains to be seen, but if it's anything like what FromSoftware has done with the expansions for its Soulslike games, fans have plenty reason to be excited.
Beyond DLC, it's also been teased that a Lies of P sequel is in the works. Going into detail about what such a sequel might entail would be to venture into spoiler territory, but fans should rest assured that Lies of P 2 has very exciting territory to explore.
There are many Soulslike games on the market, but they often fail to live up to the high expectations set by FromSoftware's games. It's great to see a new IP like Lies of P not only live up to fan expectations, but seemingly exceed them. Here's hoping this is the start of a quality new Soulslike franchise.
Lies of P is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
