Following the overwhelming success of the Souls franchise we have witnessed many teams taking on the task of trying to carve out their own niche within the genre. One of the more exciting Souls-likes is the upcoming Lies of P – letting you play as the famous Pinocchio in a cruel, dark Belle Époque world. After much anticipation we now have an official release window.
Making the announcement during IGN’s 2023 Fan Fest, two short but exciting trailers were released for Lies of P, giving fans another look at the title’s flashy and purposeful combat while also informing them of the souls-like’s release window – revealing that Lies of P is planned to launch in August 2023.
Of course, while undoubtedly exciting, we have seen many different Souls inspired games released over the years to varying degrees of success. Between the likes of Nioh; Lords of the Fallen; Remnant: From the Ashes; Mortal Shell; The Surge and more the sub-genre is quickly becoming rather crowded.
All that said, hopefully Lies of P is able to not only stand out from the crowd, but stand on its own when compared to FromSoftware’s classics. Luckily we don’t have too long to wait in order to find out.
