Lies of P director announces sequel, teases DLC

Souls-like games seem to be more popular than ever. One of the newest additions to the genre, Lies of P, had a very successful launch back in September—and now, the project’s director has confirmed a Lies of P sequel is on the way.

Game director Ji Won Choi broke the news in a newly released director’s letter video. He began by thanking fans for their enthusiasm and reiterated that the game broke the million copies sold mark following its September 19 launch. He then stated that the team’s “highest priority is developing the DLC and working on our sequel.”

The director confirmed that the game’s next patch should be arriving in November. Within it will be balancing to the Weapon Assembly System, as “certain blades and handles were not meeting expectations.”

Ji Won Choi also mentioned that the team at Neowiz Games is aware that some players were having problems with the early difficulty of the game. The upcoming patch will make the Rising Dodge Ability a default skill that players can select to help alleviate any early struggles. In addition to that, Polendia will now sell two additional quartz from the first state of his shop.

The November Lies of P patch will also include free cosmetics to look forward to. Alidoro’s costume, including his mask, is being added, as is the Alchemist’s Hat and a pair of glasses. To provide more character customization, an extra facial accessory slot is being implemented so both glasses and hats can be worn at the same time going forward.

In late September, a collaboration between Neowiz Games and Team Ninja saw a pair of Lies of P weapons being introduced into the world of Wo Long Fallen Dynasty. The director’s letter confirmed that the duo will work together once again for another collaboration, with details coming a bit further down the line.

The Lies of P soundtrack is officially on the way, too. The team is working to deliver it “as swiftly as they can”. It will feature over 60 tracks in total, which incorporates nearly all of the game’s music.

As the video wrapped up, Ji Won Choi stated that Neowiz is “fully dedicating ourselves to the development of the DLC” and revealed the studio is actively hiring to bring the project to fruition. It was then that Choi teased the game’s upcoming DLC again, saying he “secretly sneaked sketches” for viewers to enjoy. You can see the pair of concept art screens below. It will have to hold fans over until more details on the Lies of P sequel or the upcoming DLC trickle out.
