Lies of P showed up a few weeks ago.
One of the most interesting and captivating titles to come in the future is Lies of P, a soulslike dark fantasy set in the universe of Pinocchio. For some months this work in development by the South Korean team of Round8 has attracted a lot of attention and, of course, has sparked confrontations with one of the great representatives of this genre: Bloodborne.
The similarities are quite evident so much so that Lies of P’s dark Victorian fantasy seems to draw directly from FromSoftware’s PS4 exclusive. However, these similarities weren’t intentional, according to the development team.
Through an interview, Round8 stated: “While we’re very honored that many players felt Bloodborne vibes during the trailer’s release, the similarity was definitely not intentional. However, Bloodborne and other Soulslike games are certainly inspirational, and almost everyone on our team is a Dark Souls fan.“.
Also in the interview, the team stated: “We wanted a story that wasn’t your typical dark fantasy, that wasn’t set in the Middle Ages, that had adventure as its central theme, and was accompanied by fascinating characters. Pinocchio was perfect and it was easy to conceptualize him in a video game“.
Lies of P is expected to arrive in 2023 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S.
