This isn’t the first time these two Soulslikes have crossed paths. Shortly afterLies of P’s September launch,Wo Longplayers were treated to some of Pinocchio’s signature weapons: the Puppet’s Saber and Etiquette, a deadly umbrella weapon which is also handy at blocking attacks. While none of Pinocchio’s signature costumes made it over intoWo Long, it’s nice to see thatLies of Pplayers will have yet another awesome look to add to their collection of snazzy attire.
