Neowiz announces Lies of P DLC, and it's not Wizard of Oz-themed
Neowiz announced not just the first round of Lies of P DLC during a recent livestream, but also a full-blown Lies of P sequel. It’s probably not what you’re expecting from the action game, if the two images director Jiwon Choi shared is anything to go by.
Choi shared the news in a Director’s Letter video, where he thanked players for helping Lies of P sell over 1 million copies in just two months.
If the headline has you scratching your noggin, you probably didn’t stick around in Lies of P until the ending. After the credits roll, we see a scene with the mysterious adversary responsible for the Krat experiments, and he’s outlining the next phase of his plan. That phase involves Dorothy Gale, the red-shod heroine of L. Frank Baum’s classic Wizard of Oz tale, and we even see Dorothy click her heels before the screen goes dark.
The image Choi shared shows a ship with mast and sails in northern seas – unless in Lies of P world, the northern lights light up other skies – and it’s ramming a hole in another, much larger ship, presumably to make boarding easier, though certainly not quieter. Some speculate that Neowiz is tackling Peter Pan next, instead of The Wizard of Oz.
Maybe Dorothy shows up on the ship as well, and who knows, maybe Neowiz is even planning some kind of Kingdom Hearts-style mashup of classic literature, though Dorothy should be wearing silver slippers if that were the case.
Anyway, the other image Choi shared is less evocative. It’s a high-tech lab of some kind with absolutely no other visual clues to go on.
The Lies of P sequel and DLC have no release date, but Choi said the team plans on releasing a hefty patch in December 2023 that balances a few aspects, including blade combinations, and adds new cosmetics.
If you haven’t checked out the puppet game yet, you can grab it on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.
