Lies of P Director Teases DLC

Key Takeaways

  • The director of Lies of P has revealed a new piece of concept art and a new song from the game’s upcoming DLC.
  • This new content is being shared to celebrate the title’s first anniversary.
  • While the Lies of P DLC was initially scheduled to release in late 2024, it’s unclear whether this is still the case.

As a passionate fan who has spent countless hours immersed in the hauntingly beautiful world of Lies of P since its release last year, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing about the new DLC content that’s been teased by the game’s director, Jiwon Choi. The concept art and the new song shared are tantalizing glimpses into what promises to be an even more captivating adventure in Krat’s gloomy steampunk-inspired Victorian city.

The creative mind behind the smash-hit action saga of 2023 titled “Lies of P” has unveiled fresh tunes and a brand-new sketch for the game’s expansion pack, as part of a director’s correspondence. “Lies of P” is a Soulslike game that spins an engaging story around the timeless Pinocchio fairy tale, set within a somber steampunk-inspired metropolis named Krat. This game not only stood out among the finest Soulslike titles in 2023 but has earned a reputation for being the top Souls game not produced by FromSoftware, the renowned studio responsible for Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.

The downloadable content (DLC) for the game “Lies of P” was officially announced shortly after its launch in September 2023. A piece of concept art revealed the game’s main character on a sunken ship at sea, under the shimmering Northern Lights. Fans were initially thrilled, but since then, the creators of “Lies of P” have remained largely silent. Earlier this year, a Neowiz financial report hinted at a second-half 2024 release for the DLC, though no official announcement has been made by the studio.

To mark the one-year anniversary of Lies of P‘s launch, its director, Jiwon Choi, penned a heartfelt message on Twitter, expressing gratitude for the contributions made by studios Nough and Round8 Studio, and assuring fans that the team is diligently working on additional content for Lies of P, including DLC and a sequel. Although the letter didn’t reveal any major details about the upcoming DLC, Choi included two links in the tweet directing followers to a new song and a piece of concept art.

Lies of P Director Shows off New Song And Concept Art for Upcoming DLC

The musical composition in “Lies of P” has been applauded, and it appears that its downloadable content (DLC) will maintain a similar vibe. Choi, the composer, has incorporated a new song into his letter, which includes a haunting piano, violin, and what seems to be a concertina. The tune possesses a delicate, almost playful feel, dramatically contrasting the game’s somber mood but aligning with other pieces from the original soundtrack. A fresh piece of concept art shared by Choi depicts the protagonist standing in what looks like a snowy fishing village at night, with a lighthouse looming in the distance. This artwork is consistent with the first DLC’s concept art, suggesting that “Lies of P”‘s DLC will likely take place in a coastal environment with snow-covered areas, a welcome change since the main game lacked such settings.

In Choi’s correspondence, there was a reference to the sequel of “Lies of P,” yet specific details remain scarce aside from the subtle hint at the conclusion of “Lies of P.” Notably, a recent job posting by Neowiz suggests that the sequel might be open-world, though this remains unconfirmed. Regrettably, it appears that the DLC for “Lies of P” will not meet its projected release date in late 2024. Hopefully, fans will gain a clearer understanding of the content’s release window by the end of the year.
