Ranking of the best Soullike games of all time
If you're a fan of the Soulsborne games and looking for similar games, here are some of the best Soulslike games.
However, while rumors of a sequel are starting to gain traction, Lies of P 2 – or whatever it is – doesn't appear to be the only priority for developer Round8, as the studio is also working on a sci-fi survival horror title. .
The developers of Lies Of P are working on a survival horror game.
Last August, it was reported that Round 8 was hiring a field-level planner with “extensive experience with open-world level games” and “someone with experience creating complete worlds.” Given that Lies of P ends with a teaser for a supposed sequel, I believed this list would be for that game and that the series would go open-world. But maybe not.
According to Korean website EBM, Neowiz and Round8 are recruiting level designers and scenario planners for a 'survival horror project set in a science fiction world' to be produced using Unreal Engine 5 and released on PC and consoles.

Neowiz responded to EBN's request for comment by saying, “It is still too early to reveal the progress of the project,” but said, “It is one of the PC and console games that Round Eight Studio is preparing.” I hope a Lies of P sequel is still in the works.
Lies Of P's first DLC will be released in Q1 2025
Details of the Lies of P sequel are unclear, but that's not all bad for fans of the Pinnochio-inspired Soulslike.
EBN has confirmed that the game's first DLC will be released in the first quarter of next year. This has gone from the fourth quarter of this year to a very busy first quarter next year, but it's great that there's more content in the game.
The Round8 team has made no secret of the fact that they are developing additional content for the game, with discussions stretching back to 2022, and to celebrate the game's one-year anniversary, director Jiwon Choi shared a first look at the expansion on social media.
Lies Of P is a Soullike game developed by Neowiz Games. Pinocchio wakes up in a train station and the player is tasked with guiding him through Krat to find his creator, Gepetto. A variety of weapons are at your disposal, most of which are compatible with the protagonist's mechanical arm.
