“I will not disappoint you”: Lies of P director promises “the most fun” as Neowiz prepares a sequel to one of the best Soulslikes ever made, says the Overture DLC was treated “almost as a sequel” anyway

Lies of P Overture may be an award-winning expansion, but the game’s director promises that the studio’s next project will be on a whole other level.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that FromSoftware owns the Soulslike genre, given it basically created it. However, when it comes to the many challengers to the Soulslike throne, I’d say Lies of P is the game that came the closest to unseating the studio. The original game – while pretty hyped up ahead of time for its Bloodborne-esque look – took me by surprise by just how fire it was (I never finished it mind you, but late 2023 was so packed I’m sure that can be forgiven).
