The NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio video game was one of the big surprises of 2023

The curse of video game adaptations might be over. In recent years, we've seen movies and series that respect the essence of the original material and captivate both fans and the general audience. Will Lies of P join this trend?

Undoubtedly, the Pinocchio-inspired soulslike was one of the big surprises of 2023. Following its release in September, it received very good ratings and was a commercial success with over 1 million copies sold. Its warm reception is an impressive feat considering it's a new IP.

Following the initial success, director Jiwon Choi confirmed that the action game would have DLC that expands the narrative and introduces new scenarios. Additionally, he revealed they will work on a sequel, although he refrained from disclosing more information about it. Are there plans to take the franchise to other multimedia platforms?

Will Lies of P have a movie or TV adaptation?

In an interview with website GameRant, the director of Lies of P was asked if there are plans to expand the intellectual property beyond the world of video games.

The creative took the opportunity to thank the community's support, stating that making Lies of P wouldn't be possible without the love from fans. He then indicated they crafted stories that couldn't be included in the video game, so knowing that fans want to learn more about the lore is a significant confidence boost for the team.

Jiwon Choi confirmed in the interview that they have received offers to take the franchise to another media but chose not to share more information. The nature of the proposals is unknown, and whether the team seriously considers adapting the game's story remains uncertain.

"There sure are stories we could not introduce in the game, and I think it makes players wonder if Round8 Studio is willing to unfold those stories in different forms of media. We have received offers from various parties about it already", the director commented.

"It is too early to share any detailed plan for it now. However, I believe we can say that the Studio is exploring options to continue the story of Lies of P in a positive way", the creative concluded.
