Lies of P DLC is reportedly scheduled to be released later this year

Neowiz recently put out its fiscal report, which mentions all the games the publisher has in the pipeline, including the Lies of P DLC. Previously hinted at its existence and ongoing active development by Ji Won Choi, the game's director, Lies of P DLC is planned to be released in the second half of 2024, which might hint at at potential end-of-year release.

Additionally, the fiscal year in Korea, where Neowiz and Round 8 Studio are based, runs from January 1 to December 31. So, it's quite plausible that the Lies of P DLC will be coming out by the end of this calendar year.

The game was praised by fans and critics alike for not only its uncanny similarities to FromSoftware's own souls-borne titles, but also its original spin on the souls-like formula, from both gameplay as well as narrative standpoint. While the game's premise is heavily inspired by Adventures of Pinnochio, it also features its own fantastical twist to the story.

While the steep difficulty curve and a rather streamlined combat system did garner some criticism from veterans of the genre, for the most part, it received overwhelming praise from players. While Neowiz didn't reveal much about the DLC, it's expected to feature the base game's protagonist and an entirely new map for players to explore.

The only available information on the DLC are a couple of official artworks that Ji Won Choi revealed during a developer interview, featuring the different locales that players will be able to explore in the upcoming new piece of content for Lies of P.
