Soulslike ‘Lies of P’ Gets September 19 Release Date
Appearing at Summer Game Fest, Neowiz’s upcoming Lies of P not only has a release date, but also has a new demo! Initially leaked by Amazon Japan, the Soulslike take on Pinocchio will arrive September 19th for PC and consoles.
Initially aiming for an August release, the team stated that they made the difficult decision to push the release of Lies of P “to ensure the most optimal gameplay experience by further polishing the game.” Pre-orders are now available for the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game, which includes several cosmetics and 72 hours Early Access.
As for the demo, it’s available now on PC via Steam and consoles. Keep in mind that it’s another time-limited demo available from June 8 to the 26. The demo version of Lies of P will feature the first two chapters of the full game. Any progress made in the demo will not carry over to the full-release version.
Inspired by the familiar story of Pinocchio, Lies of P is an action souls-like set in a dark Belle Époque world. As the puppet P, players must wind their way through the streets of the ruined city of Krat, crafting weapons from the materials found in the world and interacting with the remaining few who manage to survive in this hellscape. The more lies told, the more human players become, with all the advantages and disadvantages it entails.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
