Lies of P’s Overture DLC Took Nearly 2 Years, But Its Sequel Might Arrive Soon

Lies of P. Ever heard of it? It’s this wild game that flips Pinocchio’s story on its head. Seriously, you’d think turning a kids’ tale into a gritty game would flop. But Round8 Studio hit it out of the park. Steampunk vibes, solid plot—unique in a way that makes most Soulslike games feel blah in comparison. And yeah, folks are still talking about it. Two years—wait, hang on, maybe it’s three now—and it’s still buzzing. Over 3 million copies sold. Not too shabby, right?

So, here’s the thing, even though the game feels ancient in video game years, fans are still hungry for more. Enter Lies of P: Overture. Dropped out of nowhere at Geoff Keighley’s big show in June. Like they just tossed it into the fray, no biggie. And a sequel’s rumored to hit by fiscal year 2026. Okay, hold up—I think that means any moment between now and June 2026. Which is, surprisingly, pretty soon if you think about it.

Why’s this sequel talk buzzing around? Well, some earnings report from Neowiz spilled the beans. They’re juggling a bunch of new titles, including something noir-Western from Zakazane—you heard it right—and WolfEye’s steampunk RPG. Uh, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, the Lies of P sequel.

Here’s what’s nuts: Neowiz was pretty hush-hush about the sequel until job listings started popping up. A position for someone to tweak PvP systems was spotted. It’s like fans are detectives now. But delays could hit—games get bumped all the time. For now, a 2027 release might not be off the table, especially if they just started hiring key players.

If the sequel drops by 2026, we might hear something big soon. Maybe an announcement at Gamescom or how about The Game Awards? Fingers crossed But who knows, right? Games evolve in weird ways. So does life… but that’s a whole other tangent.
