Lies of P: Complete Edition arrives on Switch 2 - and earns its place. August 3, 2026 Neowiz's acclaimed soulslike hits Switch 2 on August 6 with the Overture DLC in tow - and its first review calls it a genuine rival to FromSoftware. Nintendo Switch 2 owners are about to get one of the most celebrated non-FromSoftware soulslikes ever made. Publisher Neowiz and developer Round8 Studio release soulslike action RPG Lies of P: Complete Edition for Switch 2 on August 6. Lies of P first launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on September 19, 2023, and has since sold over four million units. The Complete Edition marks the game's debut on any Nintendo platform. What's in the box. Lies of P: Complete Edition includes the base game and the downloadable content expansion Overture. It also bundles all post-launch quality-of-life updates, new difficulty modes and new challenge modes. The digital edition is priced at $69.99 on Nintendo Switch 2. A physical edition is planned for release on October 2 through iam8bit. That physical release includes all game data on the Switch 2 cartridge - this is not a Game Key-Card release. What the review says. Nintendo Life published the first full review of the Switch 2 port ahead of the August 6 launch date, and it is very positive. The outlet praises the game's world design, boss encounters and the weapon customisation system - specifically the ability to mix and match blade and handle components independently to create entirely different weapon configurations. The reviewer calls this level of experimentation something they have "frankly never seen in a Soulslike." The story, set in the puppet-ravaged city of Krat, draws clear comparisons to Dark Souls and Bloodborne in the way it parcels out narrative through environmental detail and NPC dialogue, while remaining more accessible than its inspirations. Three selectable difficulty levels lower the barrier for newcomers without removing the challenge ceiling for veterans. On the combat side, the review situates Lies of P between Dark Souls and Bloodborne - blocking is possible but imperfect, with a timing-based perfect block mechanic that negates damage entirely when executed correctly. The Legion Arm system, which grants P a mechanical prosthetic with swappable abilities ranging from enemy pull-ins to flame and acid attacks, adds a further layer of build expression. Switch 2 performance. Performance on Switch 2 is flagged as the one caveat. The port ships with multiple display modes - Performance and Quality in handheld, and Performance, Balanced and Quality in docked. The reviewer notes frame rates are not locked at 60fps in all modes and advises against using Quality mode in handheld, describing it as "pretty rough." A day-one patch on Switch 2 is expected to add an improved 60fps performance mode for handheld play. Players should keep an eye out for that patch at launch. Developer and sales context. With over four million cumulative units sold globally, Lies of P and Lies of P: Overture have built a passionate player community around the adventures of Gepetto's puppet and the city of Krat. Developed by Round8 Studio and published by Neowiz, the game and its accompanying DLC have come to be known as best-in-class and award-winning experiences in the soulslike subgenre. Director Jiwon Choi noted the significance of the Nintendo launch: "Finally, we are able to share Lies of P will be coming to Nintendo platforms for the first time," Choi said, adding that the studio has "wanted to share our beautiful, dark take on Pinocchio's story with Nintendo players for a long time." For collectors, iam8bit is releasing a physical version that includes the full base game and DLC on the cartridge, and Neowiz has partnered with iam8bit on a collection of special Lies of P releases. The iam8bit Edition includes six Boss Lore Cards highlighting the strange foes P encounters on his journey. In its view, the performance caveats are real but hardly dealbreakers for a game that runs acceptably throughout - and a day-one patch targeting handheld performance is a good sign that the developers are paying attention. For Switch 2 owners who missed Lies of P in 2023, the Complete Edition looks like the right way to catch up.

Lies of P: Complete Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on august 6th. Lies of P puts players in the shoes of a puppet created by Geppetto, exploring the city of Krat, which has fallen to madness and bloodlust. Developer NEOWIZ has announced that its Soulslike hack-and-slash title Lies of P is making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 in the form of Lies of P: Complete Edition. The port was announced with a trailer, which gives Gamingbolt a good look at the kind of visual quality that Gamingbolt can expect from Lies of P running on the Nintendo Switch 2. Check it out below. The trailer comes in at just under a minute in length, and while it doesn't showcase much in the way of gameplay, it does a great job of establishing the tone by instead focusing on key story moments, boss fight introductions, and even some moments of solitude with the protagonist hanging out in the hub. As its name might imply, along with the base game, Lies of P: Complete Edition will also include the Overture DLC, which was released on other platforms last year and expanded on the story of Lies of P by quite a bit by taking Gamingbolt to a past version of the game's primary setting - the city of Krat. In Lies of P, players take on the role of a puppet created by Geppetto who manages to get caught up in an intricate web of lies, all while the city they're in, Krat, succumbs to madness and bloodlust. One of the game's more unique aspects is its weapon system, which encourages players to experiment quite a bit by allowing them to switch between a variety of blades and handles, depending on their preferred gameplay style.
