Lies of P DLC expansion ‘Overture’ now available

Long-awaited downloadable content shadow-dropped.

Lies of P downloadable content expansion “Overture” is now available, publisher NEOWIZ and developer Round8 Studio announced.

“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 Round8 Studio game director Jiwon Choi in a press release. “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.”

In addition to the downloadable content launch, the base game will receive a patch with two new difficulty settings and two new challenging boss battle modes, which are accessible via the Hotel Krat Stargazer once players have seen at least one base game ending. Battle Memories allow players to relive battles against previously defeated bosses with new difficulty tiers. Death March offers a challenging consecutive series of previously defeated bosses with limited player health and items.
