Some of the most iconic characters from children’s tales have entered the public domain, and for fans ofLies of P- Neowiz’s twisted and brilliant take on Pinocchio - that’s a very exciting prospect.
It’s the start of a brand new year, which, as well as getting back to the grindstone, means the end of copyright protection for several classic and much-loved creations. This year sees the likes of Steamboat Willie, the animated short that introduced us to Micky Mouse and the original Peter Pan created by J.M. Barrie, enter the public domain, and Lies of P players have their fingers crossed that Neowiz is taking note.
“ADisneythemed soulslike would honestly go so hard. Especially if we played Mickey Mouse, shit would be amazing,“one fan sayson Twitter. “Lies of P will be the Epic Mickey we were denied,“comments another.
Others are just as keen to see some gritty Soulslike action starring the boy who never grows up. “The original Peter Pan is already a ridiculously dark story. Would be a great fit for the Lies of P universe,“writes @survivors_guilt.
Last year, fans were already speculating that the series could be heading to Neverland afterconcept art for the upcoming DLCshowcased a rather creepy-looking pirate ship. A sequel is also on the way, which, from Lies of P’s post-credit scene,appears to hint at another timeless children’s tale.
GamesRadar+’s own Austin Wood is certainly no stranger to Soulslikes, and according to him,Lies of P is the best one.
