Announced back in 2021, it feels like we've been waiting on edgy Soulslike Lies of P forever, but we're in the homestretch now. The gritty take on the classic tale of Pinnochio will finally release on PS5 and PS4 on 19th September, and we got a cinematic trailer to tide us over in the meantime.
Channelling elements of both Bloodborne and Steelrising, a demo is now available for Lies of P, so if you want to try out the particulars of its stamina-based action RPG combat system, there's no time like the present. We thought it was extremely promising and are excited to jump in once the full game launches.

Are you excited for Lies of P, does it look like more of the same, or is there simply too much on your gaming plate right now? Let us know, be honest, and become a real boy in the comments section below.

Played the demo and I hadn’t heard of the game before that. Definitely loved the feel of the combat and stone story was intriguing! Will most definitely be picking this one up
I have this on pre order and i'm chomping at the bit for a new souls type game. As i've said before the only issue i had with the demo was the floaty camera which required a lot of fine tuning because it gave me motion sickness the likes i've not experienced since playing doom on the ps1. September through to november are going to be great with this and lords of the fallen.
Tried the demo didn't like it, I feel dark souls like games just ain't for me
Nope. No excitement here.
While this does look decent, I just don't have time for ANOTHER souls like. there's already so many, other than elden ring the genre feels quite stale at this point.
I imagine most Dark Souls folks will snub this as they often do in favor of FromSoftware, but I have high hopes for it.
We’ve been treated well to some enjoyable games in that “genre” with Steelrising, Thymesia, and 2D games like Blasphemous.
I’m picking this up Day 1 over others for the next few months and the only one I see rivaling it for my attention will be Lords of the Fallen, which also looks to bring some cool ideas of its own.
Lies of p is going to be a excellent game.i l🖤ve the demo.and the graphics looks amazing.its going to be a instant hit.word up son
Really enjoyed the demo, but going to have to wait on this one. I’ll be too busy with Armored Core + back catalog. Hopefully a xmas break purchase!
Souls-likes tend to never get what made the souls games good they always fall into cheaper design philosophy because they take difficulty as the only selling point of the franchise. Besides the Niohs I've yet to be impressed by newer attempts.
@4th_at_EVO Niohs were fantastic because they weren't Soulslike. They are obviously inspired but they are really a whole other thing that combines Ninja Gaiden with Souls games.
This game is something I never heard of before and I'm sad that we don't get to tell lies and use our nose as a weapon.
I enjoyed the demo. I’ll pick this up day 1 if it reviews well. If it doesn’t I’ll wait for a sale.
I'm looking forward to this game, I just wish P wouldn't lie so much.
I'm not sure why anyone is giving this the time of day given it's by Neowiz who have a track record of creating buggy cash grab games then abandoning them.
