With a name like Lies of P, we’re not expecting an award-winning script from Round8 Studio’s upcoming Souls-like. This clip of the game’s placeholder voice acting has gone viral, however – even though it’s obvious it will be replaced before release.
Owning the situation on YouTube, a spokesperson for the title confirmed with a wink: “The character voiceovers are temporary placeholders and still a work-in-progress.” Presumably the developer will be hitting the recording studio before the promising release arrives in 2023, then.
Those cunning rascals!

Reminds me how Borderlands the Pre Sequel had placeholder aussie voices that they felt were so good they kept them in LOL
This has major
YoU...CAn'T KiLL ME!!!!! Energy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is that Jordan Peterson?
"Beware of tight spot, cunning rascal ahead"
Round8: amazing voicework. Lies of P is gonna be so good! 🤩
People online: lol what are these voices? So dumb.
Round8: uhh... Those are just... Uhh... Placeholders. Yeah that's right, it's not final, we're gonna re-do all our hard work. 😭
I almost spit my drink out listening to this! I hope they keep just this one voice line in the game!
I wish all the young scallies who hang around my local shop spoke like that.
It's Colin Robinson!
@TechaNinja As an Aussie I can say that the voiceovers and lines of that game are a disgrace to my nation, I couldn't listen to them for more than an hour before I quit out, uninstalled and never played the game again 😂
@GorosBat i understand exactly what you mean..it really gets my goat up how developers always think that english people speak with cockney accents or one of those real posh,plummey twangs..i really liked how the witcher's characters all had northern accents..made me chuckle..
@Northern_munkey The issue of the voices in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel is that if I wanted to sound the way they do in the game I'd genuinely have to put in an effort with the mindfulness of trying to sound as Aussie as I can, our accent is a lot more subtle than the stereotypes that are extremely thick accents like you've said, sure there are a very select few that sound like it, but that is a limited number. If you want to hear a better Aussie accent you should listen to the knife in the "High on life" gameplay, albeit if an Australian was on cocaine which I guess is fitting for that game lol 😛
@GorosBat it would be better if they just employed actual aussies etc but at least the northern accent in the witcher games was quite authentic (i'm a northerner) but i've met plenty of cockneys and they never sound quite like they are portrayed in games..devs seem to think all londeners sound like they just jumped out of mary poppins ffs 🤣..there are also regional differences as in not all northerners sound the same..those from yorkshire miss out every other word for example "go down shop and get paper lad" instead of "go down to the shop and get a news paper lad." I still struggle with the yorkshire man at work..
@nessisonett Not enough crying
@cheonseojin I think they don't like the title.
@nessisonett Not nearly Kermit-y sounding enough.
Would be amusing if they keep this voice as an easter egg or something in the final release.
@Coolmusic I could see that happening! Would be a nice extra for sure.
