Lies of P’s director, Choi Ji-won, recently shared his excitement after trying out Nightreign’s network test. Clearly impressed by its fresh take on gameplay, he hinted that while Lies of P itself—along with its upcoming expansion, Overture—is designed as a complete, single-player experience, there’s room to explore co-op features in future projects.

From the beginning, Lies of P was meant to be a high-quality, premium single-player game, drawing inspiration from the modern action titles that redefined the genre—think Dark Souls and Elden Ring. Ji-won explained that the unique style and imaginative execution of Nightreign’s test pushed him to focus on making Overture as engaging and polished as possible.

Looking ahead, the director is eager to push the envelope even further. He emphasized that future projects might stray from the traditional Soulslike formula, aiming to develop a distinct identity that stands apart from its inspirations. “We are definitely open to any sort of consideration in the future,” he said. His goal is not to predict the next trend in action games but to carve out a unique niche that players will instantly recognize and be excited about.

So, while Lies of P will remain a singular, immersive journey, the possibility of co-op and other innovative features is definitely on the table for upcoming titles. This forward-thinking approach suggests that future games could blend the rich, dark storytelling of Lies of P with new, collaborative gameplay elements.
