On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, the captivating world of “Lies of P” is poised to enchant its players with an exclusive gift that bridges the realms of two celebrated titles in the Soulslike genre.
A free update scheduled for February 14th will introduce a piece of “Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty” into the gothic and intricate universe of “Lies of P,” offering players a unique crossover DLC.
This thoughtful gesture allows fans to merge their love for both games, showcasing a blend of Eastern and Western mythology and gameplay.
A Crossover of Dynasties and Puppetry
The update is set to include the Azure Dragon Crescent Glaive weapon alongside the Armor of the Honorable and Bandana of the Honorable costumes. This gear, emblematic of Three Kingdoms China, will give players the opportunity to adorn the protagonist puppet P in attire that transcends time and narrative boundaries, linking the worlds of “Lies of P” and “Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty” in a creative and immersive fashion.
This isn’t the first time the two games have engaged in such a crossover. “Lies of P” had previously introduced a collection in “Wo Long” last September, an addition that has been confirmed to be part of the “Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty Complete Edition.” This ongoing exchange between the two titles enriches their respective universes, offering fans new ways to experience their favorite games through a shared lens.
