Is Lies of P getting a sequel? The chances for that appear to be improving, as developer and publisher NEOWIZ has announced that its new action game has already sold 1 million units globally in less than a month following its launch on September 19, 2023. Designed as a soulslike that features a story based on the classic fairy tale of Pinocchio, Lies of P has received positive reception from fans and critics thus far, culminating in an average score of 80 on PS5, 83 on PC, and 84 on Xbox Series X|S on Metacritic, as well as 89% positive review scores on Steam. Lies of P, which features AMD FSR 2.2 and NVIDIA DLSS upscaling technologies, is also available on Xbox Game Pass and the Mac App Store for Apple Silicon devices.
“This incredible milestone for Lies of P proves the potential of Korean console games on the global stage,” said Seungchul Kim, co-CEO of NEOWIZ. “The Lies of P project was a challenging endeavor for NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio and we take great pride in what we achieved with this title.”
“The reception has been incredible so far, and we are beyond thankful that over 1 million players have already embarked on their journey through Krat,” said Jiwon Choi, Director for Lies of P. “Likewise, we are excited for what the future holds for Lies of P, and can’t wait to share more when the time is right.”
Inspired by the familiar story of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action Souls-like game set in the dark, Belle Époque-inspired city of Krat. Once a beautiful city, Krat has become a living nightmare as deadly puppets run amok and a plague sweeps the land. Play as a puppet who must fight his way through the city on his unrelenting journey to find Geppetto and finally become human. Lies of P presents an elegant world filled with tension, deep combat and character customization systems, and a gripping story with interesting narrative choices where the more lies told, the more human P becomes. Just remember: in a world filled with lies, no one can be trusted…
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the citizens of Krat.
