Lies of P recently got an Xbox Game Pass launch window of August 2023, so in the next few months we'd expect to see plenty of this upcoming Game Pass soulslike in action. Speaking of which, this week's Game Developer's Conference has delivered another extensive look at the title, featuring over 10 minutes of fresh gameplay.
We've dropped the video up above, which is well worth a look if you're interested in this upcoming Xbox Bloodborne-like. It might not match FromSoftware's infamous PS4 title beat-for-beat, but it certainly reminds us of the Elden Ring developer's 2015 PlayStation exclusive.
Hopefully we'll get a nailed on release date for this one sooner rather than later, but yep, as things stand you can expect Lies of P to hit Xbox Game Pass this August!
Are you hyped to get your hands on this one? Let us know what you think down below!

Me thinking another game that’s gonna get the same as atomic heart reception.
Average and ok ish.
@Dezzy70 Atomic Heart was a big success!
@Sveakungen
A big success was Metroid prime remake and Resident Evil 4 remake.
Both remakes and both more highly scored games and better overall than atomic heart.
And that’s my beef, remakes of old games better than new ones. What’s new game development doing.
@Dezzy70 it's more to with ppl going for what they know/played in the past then because of new game development
They already know the game and know they enjoyed them with new IPS they don't
@Dezzy70 I agree. I don’t know why, but I feel like Lies of P may have all the elements right, as Atomic Heart did, but not necessarily the execution. We shall see. I want to like it, honestly, but, outside the first party titles, the big games that drop on Gamepass haven’t really “gotten” to me
@Martsmall
A very good new ip should be able to create enjoyment and be good enough to be as good or better than the resident evil 4 remake and Metroid Prime remake.
Like I said, what’s going on with new game development now a days, I think it’s cost and getting cheaply made and releasing early to get some money back on investment. Or the developers quality is just not there.
Those two remakes will most probably have the highest metacritic scores of 2023, that’s saying something about new game development today.
If it’s as good as Wo Long Fallen Dynasty was in the Souls space, it’ll definitely get to me.
Yep, that's a Souls-like!
@Dezzy70 Hi-Fi Rush will be up there with the best scores of 2023 as well and that’s a new IP.
@awp69
Yes it did pretty well about 87, perhaps developers should make smaller games at a slightly lower price that are focused and pretty good.
@somnambulance
Have a feeling this year there will be about three games that pop big time with their respective crowds and critics and be commercial a good success.
BOTW 2
Spider man 2
And probably Starfield
I know depending the new Fifa and COD will sell loads as well.
@Dezzy70 Yeah, 89 on OpenCritic where they combine all platforms, which is exactly the same as the Dead Space remake. It’s definitely one of the best reviewed games of the year. Sure it will make some GoTY lists.
So there’s hope for new game development!
@Dezzy70 I have faith that we will have two outstanding entries in the Final Fantasy series too, but that both of them may utterly perplex the fanbase in some way. And Pikmin 4 will be a huge hit… for its niche fanbase, where I do reside.
After seeing more on Redfall today too, I’m quite optimistic in that one as well. I don’t yet know how I feel about Starfield, though I’m looking forward to it.
For what it’s worth, I do feel that RE4 and SH2 will end up in the top 5 Metacritic titles this year. I’m not certain Hi Fi Rush will be in the grand picture of the gotY discussion, as much as I like the title. RE4 will be, however, regardless of the rest of the year’s titles, for better or worse.
@somnambulance
Nah, I have a feeling that SH2 will be a huge flop, unfortunately.
@Sebatrox You should check out Steelrising. It’s a great game despite some jank, and it’s on Xbox.
Hmmm looks a bit janky, sorry to say.
@Sveakungen @Dezzy70 I think there are different levels of success.
Atomic Heart has had over 5 million players already that is a HUGE success for a new studio and IP in the opening weeks.
On the other hand a 71% Metascore and 6.9 user score is less favourable.
Personally I thought is was an interesting game that did some things brilliantly but failed in other areas. A promising start but plenty of room for improvement for the now announced sequel.
Personally hoping for a little more for Lies of P.
I'm a little underwhelmed by this new footage. The level design seems a little bland & repetitive. A few tight corridors, rooms or walkways to a slightly larger area where you fight a larger, damage-sponge enemy... rinse & repeat. I suppose it is only 10 minutes’ worth, but I'm definitely waiting for a review before I dive in.
@Novs It’s Bloober Team, so who knows? They aren’t known for making the best games in the world. On the other hand, it’s hard to mess up perfection. I’m hopeful it’s Bloober’s best effort yet. I’m 100% in on the deluge of Silent Hill games incoming, honestly. Can’t wait to play any one of the games announced on the Silent Hill showcase.
@Dezzy70 you have Hogwarts as well. Big big success and overall even with the "boycott" it score well
@somnambulance
I am too excited to play new sh stuff, but I do believe more in Townfall and F.
Silent hill 2 is a perfection that is very easy to mess up by a team like Bloober's.
@Novs Bloober is definitely a MOR tier dev, but all they have to do is update the visuals and modernize the gameplay to succeed. I hope we hear something about Townfall and F soon.
