Lies of P dev adds Denuvo four days before launch

Lies of P, the Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring-style RPG, just had Denuvo Anti-Tamper added by Neowiz four days before its launch date.

Denuvo Anti-Tamper has been added to Lies of P, the new soulslike from Neowiz, four days before the game's full launch. The Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring-inspired Lies of P is one of many recent games to incorporate Denuvo.

Lies of P offers a fairytale spin on the FromSoftware model, based on the original Pinocchio novel from Carlo Collodi. Previously, developer Neowiz explained how it had removed some content from Lies of P owing to its potentially "risky" nature. Now, the developer adds Denuvo Anti-Tamper to the Lies of P Steam page days ahead of release.
