Lies of P Overture may be an award-winning expansion, but the game's director promises that the studio's next project will be on a whole other level.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that FromSoftware owns the Soulslike genre, given it basically created it. However, when it comes to the many challengers to the Soulslike throne, I'd say Lies of P is the game that came the closest to unseating the studio. The original game – while pretty hyped up ahead of time for its Bloodborne-esque look – took me by surprise by just how fire it was (I never finished it mind you, but late 2023 was so packed I'm sure that can be forgiven).

And the game's expansion, Lies of P Overture, was no slouch either. Not only did it add an extra 15 to 20 hours to the game, but it felt like it could have been released as a standalone sequel (akin to something like Spider-Man: Miles Morales), and nobody would've batted an eye. So it's not a massive surprise that the game picked up "Best Game Expansion" at The Golden Joystick Awards 2025.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ after winning the award, Lies of P director Choi Ji-won says (via an interpreter), "I'm so happy that I'm lost for words right now," before explaining how the team approached making the DLC: "So we didn't just view it as just pure expansion, but almost as a sequel and a brand new project."

Asked what fans of the game can expect from Lies of P co-developers Round8 and Neowiz in the future, Choi says "you can expect the most fun that we can achieve within the game," asking fans to "please stay tuned for it; we are working really hard, and I will not disappoint you at all." Granted, it's not clear which of Neowiz's multiple projects (including a full-fledged Lies of P sequel) Choi is talking about, but after Lies of P I'm excited to see anything from the developer.
