Et af de helt store tilløbsstykker til Gamescom var det Dark Souls-lignende Lies of P. Køen til det visuelt unikke spil baseret på eventyret om Pinocchio var ofte utrolig lang, og selv for pressen kunne det være svært at skaffe sig en session med spillet, hvis man ikke skubbede albuerne lidt frem.
Bag spillet står den sydkoreanske udvikler NEOWIZ, der ellers ikke har de store succeser i Vesten bag sig, men det har altså ikke bremset hypen, og nu afslører spillets Game Director Choi Ji-Won, hvor langt et spil, vi kan se frem til.
"If you basically go through the game, it will take around 30 hours. But if you thoroughly check all of the contents that are hidden in the game, then it will be around 60 hours," fortæller Ji-Won til Prankster101.
Spillets kreative bagmand fortæller også, hvorfor han valgte at lave spillet forholdsvist langt fremfor at satse på en mere fokuseret oplevelse:
"I decided to go with a longer play-time game because I thought I could target both players who love to enjoy longer play-times as well as shorter play-times. So I decided to go with a game that has a longer play-time. But even for the player who wants to enjoy the shorter game, they can take it stage by stage. Each stage, if you really go through it, will take around 10 hours, and each stage has different characteristics and features. If you take it one stage at a time, as one game, then you'll enjoy it step by step."
Lies of P star til at udkomme i 2023 til PC, Xbox og PlayStation.
