NEOWIZ adds Denuvo to Lies of P three days before release


Lies of P is one of the most anticipated Souls-like games of 2023. The game releases on September 18th and it appears that NEOWIZ has listed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech on its Steam store page, three days before release.

As we can clearly see in the game’s SteamDB history, NEOWIZ added Denuvo to its page earlier today. Lies of P has been available for pre-order for a while, meaning that NEOWIZ has deceived its fans by not including it from the get-go.

For what it’s worth, the review code we’ve received for Lies of P is also protected by Denuvo. The executable file is around 500MB in size, which is a clear indicator of Denuvo’s presence. This means that our upcoming benchmarks will reflect what you’ll be getting on launch day.

We’ve seen lately a lot of new/upcoming PC releases that use Denuvo. Among them are Mortal Kombat 1, EA’s WRC and eFootball 2024. And yes, the upcoming EA Sports FC 24 will be also using Denuvo.

Lastly, our PC Performance Analysis for Lies of P will go live later this weekend. You can also find here a video that showcases it running in native 8K on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090.

Lies of P is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and appears to be running smoothly on a wide range of PC configurations. The game does not suffer from any shader compilation stutters, though we did experience a few traversal stutters.

Stay tuned for more!
