The Gamescom Opening Night Live 2022 event took place yesterday (August 23), with plenty of games on display. One notable title was Lies of P , a new Soulslike based on the story of Pinocchio. Audiences saw a glimpse of its murky dystopian setting and boss battles in action, but the trailer barely mentioned one key detail. That is the fact that Lies of P will land on Xbox Game Pass on day one, which is a pretty big deal!

Either way, it’s another big-name release landing at launch on Game Pass. In Lies of P , you play as a human-puppet hybrid version of Pinocchio. Dropped into the decrepit city of Krat, your job is to help him find Geppetto. Along the way you’ll battle swarms of mutated beasts in large-scale boss fights. Expect an unforgiving Soulslike that pulls no punches with its difficulty, despite its unofficial ties to the Disney Pinocchio film.
What’s interesting is how little the Gamescom trailer played up Lies of P ‘s release on Game Pass. It is display very briefly at the end, but nowhere else in the marketing. That changed after a tweet from the official Xbox Game Pass account, confirming that it’ll a day one launch.
