Lies of P director Ji Won Choi has teased an upcoming DLC for the Soulslike action RPG. This DLC will be the first downloadable content for Lies of P, continuing the adventures of Pinocchio in the city of Krat as he tries to find a way to become a human.
In September 2023, South Korean game development studio Neowiz made quite an impact in the Soulslike genre with the release of Lies of P, an action RPG set in a grim version of the tale of Pinocchio. Its unique setting and complexity turned Lies of P into a commercial success, selling over one million units a month after its release. Lies of P is now considered one of the best Soulslike games among popular titles like Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Remnant: From the Ashes, and the recently released Lords of the Fallen.
In an over eight-minute-long video, Director Ji Won Choi shared information about the future of Lies of P, including details about the game’s first DLC and the content of its upcoming patch. After thanking fans for making Lies of P a massive hit, Choi revealed that Neowiz was working on an upcoming DLC for the Soulslike action RPG, and while he couldn’t reveal the exact content of this first downloadable content for Lies of P, he shared some sketches from the DLC. In the video, Choi states that the team's "highest priority is developing the DLC and working on our sequel."
Besides the upcoming Lies of P DLC, whose release date remains a mystery, Choi shared information about the patch coming out this November. The update will bring a weapon balance to let players better enjoy the Weapon Assemble system, allowing them to craft custom weaponry. The November patch for Lies of P also aims to ease the difficulty level in the early stages of the game by granting Pinocchio the Rising Dodge ability as a default skill, enabling players to dodge attacks without having to unlock this through the skill tree.
Our highest priority is developing the DLC and working on our sequel.
Neowiz is currently hiring more members to fill its ranks and further develop the world of Lies of P, hinting at more content to be expected in the future. The studio announced a crossover between Lies of P and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, bringing the Puppet's Saber and the Etiquette to Team Ninja’s action RPG. Neowiz also announced its intention to release a soundtrack collection of all the music from Lies of P, with over 60 tracks for players to listen to while they wait for more details about the game’s upcoming DLC.
