Round8 Studio and Neowiz are celebrating the first anniversary of the Pinocchio-themed soulslike Lies of P. Along with a new message from the game’s director, Jiwon Choi, a new piece of artwork and song from the title’s upcoming DLC have been posted online.
“It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since we first invited you to Krat,” Choi writes. “As we endure the heat of Korea’s hottest summer yet and diligently work on the upcoming DLC, your continuous support and love are everything to us and motivate us to build on the world of Lies of P.
My goal as director, which is to create an enjoyable game, has never wavered. Your feedback and encouragement have been, and will always be a constant source of inspiration for me.”
Lies of P was first released in September 2023 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
“For the DLC of the Lies of P and the sequel, we aim to do better on what we did well and improve in areas we have room to grow. It might sound simple, but I find that sticking to the basics is anything but easy,” Choi continues. “Thankfully, I have amazing colleagues on that I can place my full trust, Team NOUGH and ROUND8 Studio. They have always been by my side through thick and thin, and we will continue to step forward.”
By October 2023, Lies of P had sold over 1 million copies worldwide. The title won several awards at the Gamescom Awards, including Best Action Adventure Game and Best Role Playing Game. It was also nominated for Best Art Direction and Best Role Playing Game at The Game Awards 2023. A sequel is rumored to be in development.
“It’s funny how time seems to crawl when I am waiting for anticipated games as a gamer, but it flies by so fast when I am working on one. Bridging this gap is perhaps where I must strive the most,” Choi said.
“We will get back to work for now. When we return, we hope to turn your anticipation into delight.”
