Lies of P is one of the more memorable Soulslike games in recent years, as well as a fascinating take on the classic novel The Adventures of Pinocchio. In other words, it’s a perfect choice as the latest entry in Dark Horse’s ever-growing lineup of video game-themed art books.
IGN can exclusively reveal the cover art and first details for The Art of Lies of P. Check out the cover below:
The Art of Lies of P is a hardcover book that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the game, featuring 224 pages of concept art and creator commentary from the employees at ROUND8 Studios.
“When we decided to make an art book for Lies of P, we knew we wanted to create something that served as a thank you to our fans while giving a behind-the-scenes peek at the development process for the game,” said Jiwon Choi, Director of Lies of P, in a statement. “The team at Dark Horse Books took our vision for ‘The Art of Lies of P’ and is crafting something that is truly vibrant and speaks to the love and effort from the team at ROUND8 Studios. We hope it brings joy to our Lies of P community!”
The Art of Lies of P is priced at $49.99 and will be released in bookstores on November 12 and comic shops on November 13.
Dark Horse also recently unveiled The Making of Halo The Series: Hope, Heroism, Humanity, which explores the making of the first season of the Showtime/Paramount+ series.
In IGN’s Lies of P review, Travis Northup scored the game an 8 out of 10, writing, “Lies of P might not branch out particularly far from its soulslike inspiration, but like a marionette controlled by a skilled puppet master, it plays the part extremely well in a wonderfully dark fantasy world. It must be said that its uneven difficulty didn’t always make me feel like an underdog, especially when playing as a brawny, overpowered version of Pinocchio with a massive weapon, and combat pigeonholed me into a specific playstyle while the levels are less open and twisting than most. But with an awesome weapon crafting system, some really memorable boss fights, and one of the better stories we’ve seen in this genre, I can enthusiastically recommend you spend your time hanging out with Gepetto and friends. If you’ve been waiting for a Bloodborne remaster or sequel that may never come, Lies of P is the next best thing.”
