Lies of P will release this August

Lies of P, a retelling of the classic Pinocchio story, finally has a release window. The steampunk-themed Souls-like is set to put a spin on a story we are all familiar with. But we’ll be able to see for ourselves when Lies of P releases in August. For now, there isn’t an exact date, but we’ll likely hear more in the next few months.

We’ve all seen plenty of versions of Pinocchio over the years. There are some iterations that are wackier than others, but all follow the same basic story. Lies of P seems to be taking a very different direction in this regard. In fact, its story seems to only resemble Pinocchio in less obvious ways. But this could work in the game’s favor. And there are likely plenty of secrets that we still don’t know about.

Lies of P combines Steampunk with Pinocchio

Lies of P is first and foremost, a Souls-like. So players can expect to find a comparable experience to some of FromSoftware’s games. There will likely be a large emphasis on exploration and discovering story elements. But as with all Souls-likes, Lies of P should bring plenty of challenge when it arrives in August. Plus, thanks to its Gothic, steampunk aesthetic, this is likely the only way we’ll experience Bloodborne on PC for a while.

But it’s not fair to simply compare Lies of P to the titles that inspired it. It looks to be doing plenty of interesting on its own. The recently released trailer shows off a new character from the game called Simon. His intentions aren’t exactly clear, but let’s just say he’s most likely not a good guy. The trailer also gives us more glimpses at Lies of P‘s world. And the city of Krat certainly looks the part of a steampunk locale.

There are still a few more months to go before Lies of P‘s release on PC. But the good news is that the game will come to PC Game Pass on day one. So, if you’re intrigued enough to check the game out, PC Game Pass is offering a great deal. Alternatively, Lies of P will also release on Steam in August.
