Lies of P Overture Q&A: Enhancing the Gaming Experience

Lies of P: Exciting Developments in Overture DLC

NEOWIZ has recently captivated the gaming community with Lies of P, a Soulslike title that drew inspiration from Carlo Collodi’s classic, Pinocchio. The game has been particularly well-received for its immersive setting and robust combat mechanics, appealing to both fans of the genre and newcomers alike.

As discussions of a sequel are underway, NEOWIZ is gearing up to release a highly anticipated DLC, Overture, this summer. Recently, at the Game Developers Conference 2025 in San Francisco, we had the opportunity to connect with Game Director Choi Ji-won to delve deeper into what players can expect from this forthcoming expansion.

What to Expect from Lies of P: Overture

“Lies of P Overture was certainly not what players were expecting after the ending tease from the base game.”

Choi clarified that the abrupt cliffhanger at the end of the base game does not carry over into Overture. Rather, this DLC serves as a completion of the Lies of P narrative, intended to enhance what players experienced in the original release.

Standalone versus Expansion

A key question raised was whether Lies of P Overture might be released as a standalone title, especially since the base game recently departed from Game Pass. Choi emphasized that Overture is designed to be an integrated part of the Lies of P experience, akin to a director’s cut, and thus will not be offered as a separate product.

Gameplay Integration

Players looking to dive into the Overture expansion will find it accessible around Chapter 9 of the main story. During this chapter, they will encounter significant new content without losing the thread of the overall game.

Equipment and Challenge Levels

As players prepare to explore Overture, they should aim to meet the equipment thresholds found in Chapter 9. Combating the expansion’s challenges will be enjoyable, even for those who have already completed the base game. When asked about the anticipated difficulty, Choi explained their approach focused more on enriching gameplay diversity rather than simply heightening difficulty levels.

Addressing Player Feedback

The feedback gathered from fans indicated a desire for enhancements in three key areas: music, story, and combat. The team at NEOWIZ aims to elevate all three aspects in the expansion, despite the challenges involved in creating coherent and enriching content.

Musical Themes and Features

Fans can look forward to a rich auditory experience as Overture will feature a soundtrack that builds on the themes of the original game. While Choi remained somewhat tight-lipped about specific tracks, he assured players of the continuity between the two games’ music.

Secrets and Exploration

Notably, players expressed concerns regarding missable secrets in the base game. In Overture, NEOWIZ aims to provide more opportunities for exploration with hidden areas while ensuring that the game can still be enjoyed even if some secrets are overlooked.

Combat and Boss Encounters

Combat mechanics will remain integral to the player experience in Overture, and players are encouraged to master various combat strategies. Choi noted that boss fights will be uniquely designed to feel fresh and engaging, rather than simply making them more challenging.

Technical Developments

With regard to optimization and technical aspects, Lies of P was recognized for its visual appeal, and the development team is focused on continuing this momentum. While specific details about improvements, including potential implementation of AMD FSR 4, were not fully disclosed, user experience remains a top priority.

Closing Thoughts

As anticipation builds for Lies of P Overture, it promises to expand the series in exciting ways while addressing community feedback. Fans can look forward to an enriched experience that continues to unfold the compelling narrative and vibrant world introduced in the base game.
