[게임스컴2023] P’s lies at the AMD booth… On-site closed demonstration of final finished product
[쾰른(독일)=디지털데일리 왕진화 기자] Including the press conference, there was another opportunity to meet Choi Ji-won, the false general director of P. This is the third time, and it was in Germany. On the 25th (local time), I met him at the AMD booth at Gamescom 2023 in Germany.
In the places where I met him, I could only see his nervous or bright expression, but maybe it was because he was in Germany. His first expression, the third time I saw him, showed more pressure than tension.
General Director Choi Ji-won held at the ‘Gamescom 2023’ business-to-business (B2B) exhibition hall held in Cologne Messe, Germany on the 25th (local time). <디지털데일리>and confessed, “Now that I am in a situation where I am only waiting for the results of what I have made so far, my heart is heavier than ever.”
The new Soullike single-player action role-playing game (RPG) P’s Lie, which Neowiz is preparing to release on September 19th, won the most awards at the ‘Gamescom Awards 2022’ last year.
P’s lie won Best Action Adventure Game ▲Best Role Playing Game ▲Most Wanted Sony PlayStation Game.
At the time, P’s Lie drew attention for its realistic graphics set in the Belle Epoque era at the end of the 19th century, a worldview that adapted the classic ‘Pinocchio’ into a cruel fairy tale, and action. That is why Germany became an unforgettable place in his life for Choi Ji-won.
Director Choi Ji-won said, “Actually, when I submitted my entries to Gamescom last year, I was waiting for the award, and since I was presenting a project I was developing, I had a bit of excitement and anticipation.” A heavy heart,” he said.

However, the reaction from foreign reporters and business officials this year was still hot. At Gamescom 2023, a closed demonstration was conducted using the AMD business booth, and the global game industry has expressed considerable interest in the story.
Director Choi said, “The story is, in a very short summary, ‘Pinocchio’s Adventure’, so I have been very interested in these parts and asked questions, such as how we came to compose it and how it differs from the original work.”
He added, “A lot of people paid attention to the relationship between the characters, the overall direction of the story, and why they chose Pinocchio as the material this year as well.” He said, “I haven’t been able to properly look back at this year’s Gamescom because I’m still distracted, but I feel good and I’m really grateful that there are global users who have asked for a handshake saying that they enjoyed the demo version a few days ago.”
P’s Lie recently unveiled a weapon with the motif of ‘Chiljido’, a relic from the Three Kingdoms period, or ‘Hwando’, a sword from the Joseon Dynasty, in a trailer. This is the reason why attention is focused on these activities as it is a lie of P, which has rewritten the history of Korean console games from the development stage.
Director Choi said, “I had such a desire to introduce Korea’s unique clothing and weapons to gamers around the world.” As it was revealed in the trailer, many people seem to be interested in seeing it fresh.”
“I hope it will be a game that people who have played in Germany are waiting for the release with excitement,” he said. The desired outcome,” he added.
Lastly, Director Choi said to the false users of P waiting for the release, “I hope you enjoy preparing for death.” Please check until the ending.”
