Lies of P: Overture, the highly anticipated DLC expansion for the acclaimed Soulslike game, has been dropped during Summer Game Fest 2025. The prequel expansion is available now for $29.99 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC, giving fans immediate access to new content they’ve been waiting years to experience. Let’s look at what this surprise release brings to the table and why it’s worth your time.
A Journey Back in Time
Lies of P: Overture serves as a prequel to the base game, taking players back to the city of Krat before the devastating Puppet Frenzy. Instead of exploring rain-soaked, devastated streets, you’ll experience the city during its final days of Belle Époque beauty in the late 19th century.
The expansion shows Krat in a completely different light – literally. Where the original game had a dark, Bloodborne-inspired atmosphere, Overture features snowy landscapes and a brighter aesthetic. The update also adds difficulty options, though some fans aren’t happy about this change.
Overture isn’t just a visual refresh. The DLC includes new weapons for players to master, including a bow and Wolverine-like claws that expand your combat options. The expansion offers 15-20 hours of new content, featuring fresh bosses and areas to explore.
What’s Next
While Overture provides a lot of new content, it’s not the end of the Lies of P story. The base game’s ending clearly sets up a sequel that appears to be moving away from the Pinocchio setup.
The shadow drop of Lies of P: Overture during Summer Game Fest 2025 was a pleasant surprise for fans who have been eagerly waiting for new content. With its prequel story, expanded lore, new weapons and bosses, plus accessibility improvements, the DLC offers a lot of value for new players seeking to try this game and old players who already love the game!
