South Korean developer NEOWIZ has announced that the Soulslike game Lies of P has surpassed 3 million copies sold globally.
It had been a while since we got a sales update. The only official one was shared in October 2023, when NEOWIZ revealed that the game had sold over one million units in less than one month.
Of course, when interpreting Lies of P sales figures, we also have to consider that the game was available on Microsoft's Game Pass subscription service from day one. As such, many more gamers will have actually played it. Furthermore, according to a rumor, the game might be in development for the Nintendo Switch 2. If that's the case, sales could get even higher.
Lies of P recently launched its Overture DLC, which received the same score (8/10) as the base game in Wccftech's review. Here's a quote from the article:
At the end of the day, Lies of P: Overture is an expansion in the true sense of the word. Opting to deliver more of the same, Round8 Studio plays to the game’s strengths, offering an experience every bit as enjoyable as the base game, even with some unfair difficulty that will likely get toned down in time. As such, the DLC is a worthy purchase for those who loved the original and still want more. Those who feel they’ve had their fill or struggled with the game’s quirks the first time around won’t find much to change their minds here, however. For better or worse, it’s more Lies of P.
Looking ahead, a Lies of P sequel is all but inevitable considering these sales. NEOWIZ isn't putting all its eggs in one basket, though; we know they have been recruiting for a sci-fi horror game project, and they've also signed publishing deals with several developers, including ZAKAZANE, WolfEye Studios, and Shadowlight.
