Lies of P DLC Concept Art and Soundtrack Teased in Director’s Letter

P’s Puppets Get More Strings to Pull

One year ago, Lies of P burst onto the scene, captivating players with its Pinocchio-inspired Soulslike gameplay set in the blood-soaked streets of Krat. To celebrate the game's anniversary, developer NEOWIZ has gifted us with an emotional letter from director Ji-Won Choi and a tease of the upcoming DLC.

In his latest address, Choi expressed gratitude to the fans who have embraced Lies of P over the past year. He described the team as "enduring the heat of Korea’s hottest summer" while tirelessly working on the DLC, emphasizing that the love from fans keeps their gears turning. Choi promised that the DLC will build on the strengths of the base game while addressing some of the issues that surfaced along the way.

"For the DLC of Lies of P and the sequel, we aim to enhance what we did well and improve areas where we have room to grow," Choi wrote. "It might sound simple, but I find that sticking to the basics is anything but easy." He also extended his gratitude to his colleagues at Team NOUGH and ROUND8 Studio.

The most exciting part of the letter was the reveal at the end. Choi wrote: "By the way, here is a new song and artwork from the DLC. Can you imagine what new story will unfold?"

He shared concept art showing P standing in a snowy outpost, gazing up at a lighthouse. The contents of the lighthouse remain a mystery, but it’s likely to be filled with danger, much like the base game.

Choi’s teasing didn’t stop at artwork. He also shared a catchy tune from the DLC’s soundtrack. Although labeled as "new," "Lisrim" was composed by "onoken" in 2022. Its slower tempo reveals its similarity to the track Choi attached. There’s no copyright concern, as NEOWIZ owns both songs. The music video mirrors Lies of P: a character with a clockwork weapon races across Victorian rooftops to rescue an imprisoned girl.

When Will Lies of P’s DLC Release?

While an exact release date for the DLC has not been announced, NEOWIZ’s Q1 2024 Earnings Results indicate that it is expected to launch in the second half of 2024, alongside four other games:

• The Legend of Heroes: Gagharv Trilogy
• Cats & Soup: Malang Town
• Cats & Soup: Magic Recipe
• Project IG

NEOWIZ has been keeping fans engaged. Last November, Choi released an eight-minute video on YouTube, teasing the upcoming DLC’s concept art. The video showcased two distinct environments: a towering industrial facility and a perilous shipwreck.

As fans eagerly await more concrete news, Choi assured their imminent return, hoping to "turn your anticipation into delight." Those who have completed the main game and are hungry for more will need to exercise patience. Rest assured, though, that this DLC is just the beginning—a full-fledged sequel is also in the works.
