Lies of P Getting Difficulty Options Despite Devs Previously Saying They Don’t Belong to Souls-Like Genre

Expert Verified By

Will Add 2 More Settings Along With The Default Difficulty!

Story Highlight
  • Neowiz has revealed that Lies of P will soon get three different difficulty options.
  • Previously, the director stated that these options don’t belong in souls-like games.
  • The studio wants to make the title more accessible for the general audience.

Lies of P was one of the most surprising releases of 2023, considering how it flew under the radar of many players, but was amongst the best games of the year. Like other souls-like titles, the game had no difficulty options, which will change soon. 

Neowiz has announced that Lies of P will finally get its much-anticipated DLC later this year and will also introduce difficulty options to make the game more accessible to players. 

Why it matters: Neowiz’s Pinocchio-gone-dark title is indeed a very challenging game, but difficulty options don’t bother souls-like fans; however, this will undoubtedly open it to a wider audience.

The ‘Overtrue’ DLC for Lies of P is set to release this summer, although no solid date has been announced yet. It will be a prequel story set during the Puppet Frenzy, and will take about 20 hours to complete, so we expect plenty of content. 

We wanted to make sure a wider audience of players could play the game.

However, adding the difficulty options is a bit controversial, considering the director previously stated that they shouldn’t be a part of souls-like games. The studio has now backtracked on the statement. 

Nonetheless, the difficulty options include Butterfly Guidance, Awakened Puppet, and the default Legendary Stalker. The names don’t really explain the level, but fans who previously couldn’t play the game because it was difficult can now try it
