Lies of P
- The latest trailer for the souls-like title Lies of P has a Bloodborne feel to it, but was according to the game’s lead producer it “wasn’t intentional”.
- The game’s lead producer Ji-Won Choi has explained in an article by Kotaku that the visual comparison was not intentional although they were inspired by this genre of game, for this retelling of Pinnochio.
- In case you missed it, Lies of P takes inspiration from Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio classic novel, giving it a creepy twist in this Action-RPG. The developer behind Lies of P is Round8 Studio who developed Bless Unleashed. The main character takes a souls-like approach, sporting a prosthetic arm, while battling it out against these monstrous-looking dolls.

Dragon Age 4
- The latest posts from Bioware to celebrate the Dragon Age Day which took place on December 4th, shared new snippets of new information for Dragon Age 4. This included two short stories that featured the Grey Wardens and one about necromancers. There was also a note about Dragon Age 4.
- The message explained that the developer was “still hard at work on building the next single-player focused experience for Dragon Age” and that will be “next year” when they can talk more about it.
- The mention of “single-player” means the next Dragon Age will be concentrating on a single-player experience which goes against the previous reports dating back to 2019, where chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen had mentioned “double down on live services”. Another title that had focused on live services was Anthem which ended up not being successful as originally hoped, and eventually shut down.
