Neowiz Co., Ltd. announced that ‘The Lie of P’, which is being developed in-house, was selected as the ‘Most Wanted Sony PlayStation Game’ at the ‘Gamescom Awards 2022’.
The winners of the platform category among the ‘Gamescom Awards’ were announced at ‘Opening Night Live’, the eve of ‘Gamescom 2022’, one of the world’s three largest game shows, held on the 23rd (German local time). Lies of P won the ‘Most Anticipated PlayStation Game’ award.
This is the first time that a Korean console game has been selected as an award winner at Gamescom. P’s Lie competed with ‘One Piece Odyssey’ and ‘The Dark Pictures The Devil in Me’ as finalists. The 2021 winner in this category is ‘Elden Ring.’
The Gamescom Awards is an event that selects and awards the best games in a total of 20 categories by platform and genre during Gamescom. P’s Lie is also nominated for the Best Action Adventure Game and Best Role Playing Game categories, where the winners will be announced on the 27th, and is expected to win additional awards.
P’s Lie announced the entry of Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass by releasing a new trailer video at the event. The video showcases spectacular action using a variety of weapons and skills through battle scenes with several boss monsters and new monsters. In particular, you can also see detailed action motions that change depending on the weapon being used.
An Xbox partnership official said, “We are very happy to be able to finally reveal P’s lies, which have a unique worldview, to Game Pass subscribers,” and added, “We will work together to make the game a success.”
P’s Lie, which emerged as a globally anticipated game after the first in-game video was released last November, is a Soullike single-player action RPG that features in-depth and tense battles. It adapts the classic ‘Pinocchio’ into an adult cruel play and presents a unique worldview. It is being developed for console and PC platforms, aiming for release in 2023. At this year’s Gamescom, we will be participating as a standalone booth, releasing a two-hour demo version for the first time, and you can play it directly at the Neowiz booth and the Xbox booth.
Producer Choi Ji-won, who is in charge of P’s lies, said, “It seems that the high expectations for P’s lies have been confirmed. “We will successfully challenge the global market with P’s unique personality and gameplay,” he said of the award.
