Lies of P, a captivating blend of Bloodborne and Sekiro-style gameplay, has finally received exciting news: developer Neowiz is set to release its first DLC! This much-anticipated addition, titled “Overture,” promises to delve into the backstory of the original game, providing insights into why its mysterious events unfolded. Fans can look forward to exploring this prequel when it arrives in the summer of 2025, available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
The original Lies of P, which took the gaming world by storm in 2023, ended with a tantalizing promise of more to come. While the continuation will likely be explored in a future sequel (hinted at by a job listing from the developers), Overture takes a step backward in time. Players will have the opportunity to unravel the enigma of the “puppet frenzy,” possibly stepping into the shoes (or gears) of a different puppet character.
The intrigue doesn’t stop there. Fans drawn to uncover secrets are already speculating about Neowiz’s approach to integrating this DLC within the game world. Following a tradition akin to FromSoftware’s challenging hidden DLC entry points, like those seen in their own titles, rumor has it that players might need to defeat the Archbishop and navigate to the Path of the Pilgrim to access Overture. The journey through these enigmatic and captivating areas could hold the key to revealing this new chapter.
Prepare to dive back into the intricate world of Lies of P, as Overture invites gamers to untangle the mysteries of its universe in what promises to be an enthralling prequel experience. Will it surprise with multiple endings? Only time—and your strategic prowess—will tell.
