Lies of P roleplaying game by Neowiz to be released in August

Lies of P, the upcoming PC-and-console roleplaying game (RPG) by Neowiz [NEOWIZ]

Game publisher Neowiz's new console game Lies of P will be released in August, the company said Monday.

Lies of P, a PC and console roleplaying game (RPG) based on the story of “Pinocchio," was the first made-in-Korea console game to take home an award from Gamescom last August.

It is set to be the biggest release of Neowiz this year. Set in the late 19th century, Lies of P is a “soulslike” game, a sub-genre of dark-fantasy games that are often very difficult to conquer.

Neowiz was one of the biggest game companies in the late 2000s after it split off from Neowiz Holdings in 2007, mostly publishing online PC games developed by other companies rather than developing its own.

After falling behind larger companies that had quickly moved onto the mobile world, Lies of P is expected to be Neowiz’s big bet.
