Lies of P from Round 8 Studios has emerged as a standout example of a well-executed souls-like action role-playing game. Despite being a smaller indie developer, Round 8, alongside publisher Neowiz, has succeeded in delivering a title that rivals some of the best in the souls-like genre, including renowned releases from FromSoftware.

In a recent revelation, Neowiz announced that Lies of P has surpassed one million copies sold globally, excluding the Xbox Game Pass version. This milestone is a remarkable feat for the indie studio’s initial venture into the niche souls-like domain. With the game’s success, Neowiz appears poised to unveil plans for an upcoming DLC in an exclusive developer livestream.
Neowiz’s Plans for Lies of P and the Anticipated DLC Announcement:
Although the initial release of the souls-like title lacked any post-launch content, expansion passes, or designated DLCs beyond the Deluxe Edition and pre-order bonuses, the game’s overwhelming success has paved the way for the possibility of a significant story DLC. The self-contained experience of the Pinocchio-inspired narrative concludes with definitive endings for the protagonist’s journey.
However, a post-credits scene hinted at the potential for additional content or a spin-off featuring Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. While Neowiz and Round 8 Studios have yet to confirm the post-credits scene’s implications, fans anticipate a comprehensive explanation during the upcoming special livestream, hoping for valuable insights into the future of the Lies of P IP.
Scheduled for November 1, 2023, at 5 PM PDT, the livestream will be broadcasted on the official Lies of P YouTube channel under the title “Director’s Letter,” with the promise of a “teaser announcement.” Despite the game’s critical and commercial success, there is room for improvement, and the upcoming DLC presents an opportunity for Neowiz and Round 8 Studios to address player feedback and refine the core aspects of the gameplay.
