Lies of P Hits Switch 2, Meaning You Can Now Rage Quit on the Toilet

If you spent any part of the last couple of years throwing your controller across the living room while fighting Laxasia or struggling to parry the Nameless Puppet, you already know the exquisite pain that NEOWIZ brought to the soulslike genre – and how we love them for that.

Since it was originally released in 2023, Lies of P stood out as an instant dark-fantasy hit, captivating action fans with its twisted, blood-soaked reimagining of Carlo Collodi’s classic Pinocchio tale set in a city heavily inspired by gothic and Belle Époque aesthetics. Because, I mean, just imagine Bloodborne meeting a very weird and alternative version of Pinocchio... how could you not love it?

Now, Nintendo fans who have been patiently waiting to dive into its grim, puppet-infested streets can finally celebrate – or at least those who were just waiting for the opportunity to explore Krat during a long commute or an extended trip to the restroom. That’s because the developers have officially shadowdropped Lies of P for the Nintendo Switch 2, bringing the entire award-winning journey (plus its hefty expansion content) straight to hybrid handheld hardware.

The Ultimate Soulslike Package in Your Hands

The digital release of Lies of P: Complete Edition is available right now on the Nintendo eShop for $69.99, according to a press release.

While porting a heavy, highly detailed action RPG to a portable console can sometimes be a recipe for technical hiccups, director Jiwon Choi reassured fans that the team took extra care to optimize performance for Nintendo’s newest hardware, ensuring the fast-paced parry mechanics and precise dodge timings remain buttery smooth.

“The Nintendo Switch 2 version is another historic debut for us, and we worked diligently to ensure the Complete Edition was the same player-first experience for Nintendo fans after they’ve waited so long,” said Choi. “Lies of P is a testament to the hardwork and dedication put in by our development team, and we are grateful to our community for their support as we continue to shape the future of the franchise.”

What makes this release particularly enticing is that it serves as the definitive way to jump in. The Complete Edition bundles the base game along with all post-launch quality-of-life updates, extra difficulty settings, new challenge modes, and the integration of the Overture DLC expansion. Whether you are a veteran looking to re-run Krat on handheld or a complete newcomer eager to test your reflexes, you are getting the full, uninterrupted dark fantasy saga in one single package.

If you are a physical collector who prefers having an actual cartridge sitting on your shelf, there is great news on that front as well – well, take that, PlayStation! NEOWIZ has partnered with physical media specialist iam8bit to produce a set of physical editions for Lies of P: Complete Edition.

Pre-orders are currently open on iam8bit’s official storefront, with cartridges containing the entire complete experience scheduled to start shipping on October 2, 2026. A standard retail physical version will also be hitting major retailer shelves on that exact same day.

There is something strangely liberating about taking a notoriously difficult soulslike on the go. Whether you are stuck in a waiting room or simply spending a bit too much time on the toilet (we've all been there!), having Krat in the palm of your hands is a total game-changer. I don't know about you, but I’m definitely ready to pick up my Switch 2 and see just how many times a clockwork puppet can send me into a portable frenzy today!
