The Lies of P DLC isn't coming before the end of the year. We kind of guessed it due to the lack of news, but Korean website EBN now reports today that NEOWIZ confirmed it will be available in the first quarter of 2025.
Meanwhile, the studio is recruiting level designers and scenario planners for a new survival horror game set in a sci-fi universe. The title will be made with Unreal Engine 5 and released for PC and consoles.
The report also claims that NEOWIZ is in 'dire need' of a new success. While Lies of P performed well last year, selling a million units in less than a month despite being available on the Game Pass subscription service, this year the company did not have any major release in its lineup, which led to a 21% decrease in sales and a 68% decrease in operating profit.
Perhaps that's why the Korean studio recently signed a publishing deal with Polish developer ZAKAZANE, founded by former CD Projekt RED developers. NEOWIZ will publish their upcoming single-player noir Western roleplaying game.
Lies of P earned an 8 out of 10 score here on Wccftech from Francesco De Meo, who wrote:
Wearing its influences on its sleeves, Lies of P is a solid imitation of FromSoftware's Bloodborne that manages to stay fun for the entire duration of a single playthrough of around 20 hours despite a marked lack of innovation. While the callbacks and nods to the game that inspired it may be a little too blatant, NEOWIZ has developed a solid game that all soulslike fans can enjoy if they can keep their expectations in check.
Not even attempting to hide the massive influence Bloodborne has had on it, Lies of P is a solid imitation of the game developed by FromSoftware. While it lacks the same combat and world design finesse of its illustrious inspiration, the action role-playing game by NEOWIZ is among the most accomplished soulslike game released this year, thanks to its dark retelling of the story of Pinocchio, combat and character customization tweaks and great enemy design.
