Soulslikes collide in Lies of P collab, but Elden Ring isn't invited

Pinocchio is coming to feudal China in this surpise collaboration between two of 2023's hottest soulslike games, Lies of P and Wo Long Fallen Dynasty.

Lies of P isn't out for another few months, but this highly anticipated Lies of P is looking to build its pre-launch hype that bit more by announcing a soulslike collab for the ages – but, sadly, Elden Ring isn't invited.

Yes, Lies of P is set to forces with Wo Long Fallen Dynasty, which launched back in March to solid reviews. While the post announcing the collab is incredibly light on details, we're already wondering what form this crossover might take. Will we see a clash between two vastly different time periods and historical locations? Italy's own Pinocchio in feudal China? More details are coming "sooooon," according to the Twitter announcement.

Game collaborations often make for good fun, and they've been a rarity within the soulslike genre so far. I look forward to seeing how the event plays out and whether or not it'll extend beyond cosmetics.

The recently released Lies of P demo hit over Wo Long Fallen Dynasty review praised its "intensely fun combat mechanics" but wasn't quite so fond of the "jarring difficulty spikes and by-the-numbers music and sound."
