AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Lies of P has officially launched on the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing its acclaimed Soulslike combat, dark Pinocchio setting, and expansion content to Nintendo's new handheld hardware.
The Nintendo Switch 2 library is continuing to build momentum with major third-party titles, and it just landed one of the standout action RPGs of recent years. Developer Nough and publisher Neowiz have officially brought Lies of P to Nintendo's new hardware, giving players a chance to experience the acclaimed dark fairy tale on the go. Originally highlighted by Austin Manchester over at Polygon, the release includes the base game alongside its substantial story expansion, making it a complete package for players looking for a fresh challenge.
Since FromSoftware defined the genre with Dark Souls and Elden Ring, few studios have managed to capture the same level of atmosphere and precise combat. Lies of P stands out as a rare exception, delivering a haunting Victorian retelling of Pinocchio set in the ruined city of Krat. Players take on the role of a mechanical puppet navigating a deadly robot uprising, utilizing customizable weapons and a versatile prosthetic arm. The combat relies heavily on satisfying parry mechanics and demanding boss encounters that rival the industry's best.
For the Switch 2, this release continues a strong early trend of ambitious portable ports. As players increasingly expect high-end gaming experiences across mobile, handheld, and home consoles, getting a game of this visual and technical caliber running smoothly on new hardware is a massive win. With other heavy hitters like Hell Is Us and Elden Ring also heading to the platform soon, handheld enthusiasts have plenty of reasons to pay attention.
