Highlights

  • Lies of P, a popular Soulslike game, has released a new update that includes festive cosmetic items like the Midwinter Night’s Red Nose and Earnest Reindeer’s Antlers.
  • Players can customize their Pinocchio character by finding unique outfits and accessories throughout the game, some of which are hidden behind Trinity Doors that require solving puzzles.
  • The developers of Lies of P have been regularly giving out free costumes and accessories to players, and they have also teased the possibility of DLC and a sequel in the future.


One of 2023’s best Soulslikes, Lies of P, is gifting players a collection of holiday-themed items in a new update. Lies of P was recently nominated for Best Role-Playing Game and Best Art Direction at the 2023 Game Awards. Though, the Bloodborne-inspired Pinocchio Soulslike ultimately lost out to two of 2023’s heaviest hitters in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Alan Wake 2, respectively.

Lies of P isn’t just a Soulslike in the sense of combat alone, it also incorporates its own take on “Fashion Souls” as well. Players can find an array of different outfits, masks, and hats throughout their perilous journey through Krat that they can equip to create a unique look for Lies of P‘s Pinocchio. Many of these cosmetics come from some of the game’s animal-themed Stalker characters that players meet and fight along the way. Some of the game’s best cosmetics, like the Blue Bloods Tailcoat cover garb and the Alchemist’s Cape, are locked behind hidden Trinity Doors that require players to seek out ringing phone booths and answer some brainteasers from the King of Riddles.

Finishing Lies of P is an achievement in itself, and it may leave players gloomy wondering what to do next once the credits roll.

Now, with the holiday season in full swing, Lies of P has revealed via Steam that it’s gifting players three festive cosmetic items for free in a new update, version 1.4.0.0. The Midwinter Night’s Red Nose, Earnest Reindeer’s Antlers, and Winter Festival Peaked Hat will appear in players’ inventories after applying Lies of P’s 1.4.0.0 update. Strangely, no photos of these cosmetic items were provided in the Steam post, nor on Lies of P‘s Twitter, but the Rudolph the Reindeer red nose and antlers are fitting considering the game’s other animal-themed characters like the Black Rabbit Brotherhood, Red Fox, and Black Cat.


Items Added To Lies of P In Update 1.4.0.0:

  • Midwinter Night’s Red Nose
  • Earnest Reindeer’s Antlers
  • Winter Festival Peaked Hat

This isn’t the first time Lies of P has gifted its players free costumes and accessories, as it’s doled out free swag as part of a previous update back in mid-November. In the Steam post, Lies of P added that this 1.4.0.0 update also makes improvements to the game’s Japanese translation. Furthermore, the developers promised that the Mac version of Lies of P is still in production and that they’ll share more details as soon as they can.

It’s rare to see popular games hand out free cosmetics to their players at all, let alone so regularly. Lies of P developers Neowiz and Round 8 Studio have already hinted at DLC for the game, as well as a sequel to Lies of P that was teased in the game’s post-credits scene. Since Lies of P has only just released a few months ago, it’ll likely be some time before fans learn about the sequel, especially with the DLC more than likely taking priority for now.
