According to Spanish insider Nash Weedle, Neowiz's highly successful Soulslike game Lies of P is headed to the Nintendo Switch 2. Here's what they wrote on X:
I can confirm that a port of Lies of P for SWITCH 2 is in the works. Its announcement could be made in June, but it depends on “some factors” of the port's development, as they want to show it with a release date. Following the latest information about the Lies of P DLC, I started to pull the thread and was able to confirm with a contact that the port is in development for Switch 2. According to Digital Foundry, Double A-studios had not received the development kit, but this is not true.
Honestly, it would not be surprising at all if Neowiz were indeed porting the game. Third-party developers and publishers are flocking to the new Nintendo console, and it's not like it's very heavy in terms of performance requirements, anyway - on PC, it can run on far weaker hardware than what's in the Switch 2:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 1200／Intel Core i5-7500
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 560 4GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB
Now the question is rather whether the port will launch alongside the Lies of P DLC, Overture, which still has no release date but should be available relatively soon. Our Kai Tatsumoto recently previewed Overture at a press event:
Three hours were not enough to do more than scratch the surface of Lies of P: Overture, and I’m already considering how my NG+3 playthrough will go in preparation for tackling the DLC. There’s initially a bigger focus early on with using large two-handed weapons in Overture, so I’m looking forward to picking up that gunblade once more and exploding my way to glory. There isn’t a firm release date beyond Summer 2025, but alongside the Overture DLC, there will also be a sizable patch with quality of life fixes for all players, including two new difficulty levels geared towards a more story-focused experience for those that might want to explore Krat but not have to fully engage with parrying and the other more difficult nuances to Lies of P’s combat. Lastly, Lies of P Overture will launch as a $29.99 premium DLC for the base game.
