Lies of P DLC Teased, Sequel to Come as Well

Lies of P’s Ji-Won Choi recently shared a touching message that’s part tribute to the community and part preview for upcoming content in the steampunk Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike game.

One year ago, Lies of P debuted, a Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike that had players exploring the blood-soaked streets of Krat. Now, to commemorate the game's anniversary, developer NEOWIZ has provided an emotional letter from director Ji-Won Choi and a sneak peek of the forthcoming DLC.

In his recent message, Choi thanked the fans who have embraced Lies of P over the past year. Describing the team as "enduring the heat of Korea’s hottest summer" while diligently working on the DLC, Choi highlighted how the love from fans keeps their efforts going. He promised that the DLC will expand on what made the base game so popular—while, of course, aiming to address some of the issues that arose.

"For the DLC of the Lies of P and the sequel, we aim to enhance our strengths and improve where we can grow," Choi wrote. "It might sound straightforward, but I find that adhering to fundamentals is anything but simple." Aside from the fans, he also expressed his appreciation for his colleagues, "Team NOUGH and ROUND8 Studio."

The most thrilling detail, however, was at the letter's end. Choi wrote: "By the way, here is a new song and artwork from the DLC. Can you envision what new story will unfold?"

And what awaits fans indeed, as Choi shared concept art showing P standing in a snowy outpost, gazing up at a lighthouse. What’s inside that lighthouse? No one knows yet, but it’s safe to say it won’t be warm cocoa and hugs. Similar to the base game, it’s bound to be fraught with danger.

Choi’s playful banter extended beyond artwork. He also shared an upbeat tune from the DLC’s soundtrack. However, while he described the song as "new," "Lisrim" was actually composed by "onoken" in 2022. A slower pace reveals its resemblance to the track Choi included.

There’s no copyright issue, though, as NEOWIZ owns both songs. The music video even mirrors Lies of P: a character with a clockwork weapon sprints across Victorian rooftops to rescue a captive girl.

When Will Lies of P’s DLC Release?

As for when enthusiasts will be able to explore the new content, the studio has yet to announce a precise release date. However, according to NEOWIZ’s Q1 2024 Earnings Results, the DLC is expected to launch sometime in the latter half of 2024, alongside four other titles:

　⚫︎　The Legend of Heroes: Gagharv Trilogy
　⚫︎　Cats & Soup: Malang Town
　⚫︎　Cats & Soup: Magic Recipe
　⚫︎　Project IG

Fortunately, NEOWIZ has been keeping enthusiasts well-informed. Last November, Choi released an eight-minute video on YouTube, previewing the upcoming DLC’s concept art, showcasing early concept art for the upcoming DLC. Two distinct settings were revealed: a towering industrial facility and a hazardous shipwreck.

As fans await more definitive news, Choi assured their impending return, hoping to "turn your anticipation into delight." In the meantime, those who have finished the main game and are already yearning for more would simply have to practice patience. Rest assured, though, that this DLC is just the beginning—a full-fledged sequel is also forthcoming.
