The director of the critically acclaimed Soulslike title Lies of P has expressed strong confidence in the upcoming sequel, vowing not to disappoint fans. This assurance comes after the successful release and positive reception of the game’s award-winning DLC, Overture.
A Director’s Promise Built on Success
Following the impressive debut of Lies of P, which garnered significant praise for its challenging gameplay, unique Puss in Boots-inspired narrative, and stunning visuals, the development team is already focused on the next installment. Director Ji-won Choi has publicly stated his commitment to exceeding player expectations for the sequel.
The Impact of Overture
The recent DLC, Overture, has been instrumental in bolstering this confidence. Winning awards and receiving widespread acclaim, the DLC not only provided new content for existing players but also served as a powerful testament to the team’s continued ability to deliver high-quality experiences within the Lies of P universe. This success has undoubtedly set a high bar and provided valuable momentum for the development of the full sequel.
Our Take: Building on a Strong Foundation
While details about the Lies of P sequel remain scarce, the director’s explicit promise, coupled with the demonstrable quality of the Overture DLC, offers a compelling reason for optimism. The first game successfully blended familiar Soulslike mechanics with a fresh, Belle Époque-inspired setting and a compelling Pinocchio reimagining. If the team can leverage the lessons learned and the creative energy from the DLC, the sequel has the potential to be another standout title in the genre.
Fans are eager to see how the narrative and gameplay will evolve, especially considering the strong foundation laid by the original game and the recent DLC. The commitment to quality and the desire not to disappoint suggest a development process focused on refinement and innovation.
