Like all good fairytale characters, Pinocchio gets a revision every couple of years - except for 2022, when he was adapted thrice (mostly in bad films, except for the Del Toro one). The loveable puppet isn’t waiting too long for his next comeback, as the RPG Soulslike Lies Of P is coming to PC and Game Pass in August.

Lies Of P’s newest trailer is mostly a black screen with a lot of VO, but we get a clear look at Pinocchio's daddy Master Gepetto this time. The trailer follows a blob wobbling through very Victorian streets before it slides into some automation and uses the machine’s body as a puppet. The result is a boss-sized monstrosity that sits halfway between Lovecraftian horror and industrial defect. It also reminds me of Gears 5’s weird infected robots, with tentacles and slime hanging off their metallic arms - equally gross and cool.

The newest trailer doesn’t show off any Bloodborne-style combat, but we’ve had plenty of looks at that already, including a fight with a gorilla robocop. This Soulslike looks just as aggressive as you’d expect, emphasising quick dodge rolls and last-minute, anxiety-fueled parries. Pinocchio’s arm doubles up as a grappling hook to pull enemies in, which is always cool in a hack n’ slasher, and makes even more sense when you’re playing as a puppet. Also, is it just me or is Pinocchio pretty this time around?

Lies of P, that Bloodborne looking game featuring a version of Pinocchio that looks a whole lot like Timothy Chalamet, officially has a release window.

If you haven't heard of Lies of P, it's essentially a Souls-like that is giving some strong Bloodborne vibes thanks to its gothic setting, where you strut around as what can only be described as twink Pinocchio. What's not to love? And at IGN Fan Fest, developer Neowiz revealed that Lies of P will be out sometime in August of this year, just a short six months away. No specific date was set, but barring any delays, we'll likely hear about that soon enough.

The announcement was paired with a very atmospheric trailer showing off its "cruel, dark Belle Époque world," offering a more steampunk kind of vibe than FromSoftware's own gothic setting. It still looks gross as hell though, and suitably nightmarish, with a touch of that Eldritch horror we all know and love, so if you, like me, are increasingly upset that there's no sequel to Bloodborne, this might be a good replacement.
