Lies of P's Overture DLC releases today

The Game Awards is in full swing, and it’s bringing lots of announcements. One of those was the release date for Lies of P’s Overture DLC: it’s coming today. 

Overture is a prequel DLC set before the events of the main game, with Neowiz saying players will be able to step into Krat in the past “when its Belle Époque elegance faces impending ruin”. Here’s the full synopsis, courtesy of the DLC’s Steam page: 

Lies of P: Overture is a dramatic prequel to the acclaimed soulslike action RPG, Lies of P. It transports you to the city of Krat in its final days of haunting, late-19th-century Belle Époque beauty. On the brink of the Puppet Frenzy massacre, you follow a legendary Stalker—a mysterious guide—through untold stories and chilling secrets. As Geppetto’s deadly puppet, you’ll journey through Krat and its surroundings, uncover hidden backstories, and face epic battles that shape the past and future of Lies of P.

“Geppetto’s puppet… We need your help.”

Alongside the new content, today’s update will bring with it new difficulty settings, including easier difficulties that should make the soulslike a little more approachable for players. 

 “Lies of P was a historic debut for our team, and it felt fitting to expand the story we’ve crafted in the most noteworthy fashion during Summer Game Fest with a surprise shadow drop on all platforms,” said Jiwon Choi, game director, ROUND8 Studio. “This expansion allowed us to complete the first arc of our story, and we hope our community feels the same love and support as they did for the base game. Please stay tuned for what awaits Geppetto’s Puppet.”

Lies of P: Overture is available today on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
