If you have been counting down the days for Lies of P, the game was supposed to arrive to everyone tomorrow. However, it looks like if you’re going to play this title on Xbox Game Pass, you can dive into the game today. It’s a surprise to fans as the developers have released the game ahead of schedule, so if you’re looking for something to play between your Starfield sessions, here’s something worth checking out.
We recently had some insight into developers’ inspiration when creating the Lies of P title. Going into the weekend, the developers noted that they opted to deliver a darker take for the children’s tale The Adventures of Pinocchio, as it had a perfect setting and a series of characters compelling to adult players. Then add in the fact that you’re also dealing with choice systems that will make for a branching narrative storyline, and you’ll get some replay value with the game. However, for Xbox Game Pass players, you’ll get a head start on the campaign today. Just remember, this is a soulslike experience, so prepare for some brutal battles that rely on studying your opponent and determining just when you should strike.
If you haven’t been keeping tabs on the game, Lies of P is centered around a mechanical puppet named Pinocchio who awakens in a dark, bloodlust Krat city that’s gone mad from a plague. You’ll find that the goal here is to locate Geppetto. Being that you’re a mechanical puppet that has the capability to lie, you’ll need to carefully decide what choices you make, not only for the storyline but also what equipment you have attached. We know that this game will have thirty different weapons with a hundred combinations through the crafting system. So prepare to spend some time in the crafting system, as you are sure Pinocchio is up for his next battle.
As mentioned, the game was supposed to land in the marketplace tomorrow. However, it’s now available to download and play today on the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. We’re finding out about this recent surprise announcement from Aaron Greenberg’s X account. For those unfamiliar, Aaron Greenberg is the VP of Xbox Games Marketing at Microsoft. Today, Aaron messaged surprising fans that the game is available to play now on their Game Pass service.
However, if you’re not on Xbox Game Pass, you can expect Lies of P to land in the marketplace on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms. We also have a Before You Buy video coverage for the game, which you can watch down below.
