[Video] Soulslike Take on Pinocchio in ‘Lies of P’ Receives Gameplay Teaser
You’re not the only one intrigued over Round8 Studio’s Soulslike take on the Pinocchio tale in Lies of P. If you weren’t, the new alpha gameplay teaser might convince you. While new information about the game isn’t forthcoming, we can expect more from the developers later this month at G-STAR, which takes place in Busan, South Korea from November 17 to 21.
As the trailer states, the footage for the teaser is comprised of pre-Alpha footage, so things are “subject to change”.
Lies of P is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
