The director of 2023's hit action title Lies of P has shared new music and a new piece of concept art for the game's DLC as part of a director's letter. Lies of P is a Soulslike game based on the classic tale of Pinocchio, set in a gloomy steampunk-inspired Victorian city named Krat. Not only was it one of 2023's best Soulslike games, but Lies of P is widely considered to be the best Souls game not made by FromSoftware, the acclaimed studio behind Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.

DLC for Lies of P was officially confirmed with a piece of concept art shortly following the release of the game in September 2023. The art depicted the game's protagonist aboard a crashed ship at sea with what appears to be the Northern Lights overhead. Though initially exciting for fans, the team behind Lies of P has been very quiet since the concept art was first shown. A Neowiz earnings report from earlier this year put a second-half 2024 release window on Lies of P's DLC, but nothing has been publicly confirmed by the studio.

On the first anniversary of Lies of P's release, the game's director, Jiwon Choi, took to Twitter with a letter celebrating the special occasion, thanking the assisting studios Nough and Round8 Studio and letting fans know the team is still hard at work on Lies of P's DLC and sequel. While the letter didn't divulge any new key information about the DLC, Choi did attach two links to the tweet that led to a new song and a piece of concept art.

Lies of P was praised for its music, and it seems its DLC will keep the same tone. The new song Choi added to his letter features a haunting piano, violin, and what sounds like a concertina. The piece has a very light, almost whimsical quality, a stark contrast to the dark tone and atmosphere of the game, but very much in line with other pieces from the base game's soundtrack. The new piece of concept art shared by Choi sees the protagonist standing in what looks to be a snowy fishing village at night with a lighthouse towering above him in the distance. This lines up with the first DLC concept art and points to Lies of P's DLC being at least partially set in some sort of coastal environment. Since the base game didn't feature any snow-covered areas, it'll be refreshing to potentially get to explore one in the DLC.

Choi's letter did make mention of Lies of P's sequel, but nothing concrete is known about it beyond the brief tease at the end of Lies of P. Interestingly, a recent Neowiz job listing hinted that Lies of P's sequel could be open-world, but this has yet to be confirmed. As for Lies of P's DLC, it unfortunately doesn't look to be making its late 2024 window. Fans will hopefully have a better idea of the content's release window before the end of the year.
