With the Overture DLC, Lies of P Travels Back in Time into the Chaos That Started It All

The February PlayStation Stae of Play finally gave us the announcement for the Lies of P DLC that we’ve all been waiting for. The Overture DLC for the 2023 Soulslike title is coming out this summer and will be a prequel to the base game. While we don’t have a date or price tag for the DLC, Neowiz did give us a trailer at the State of Play.

Players can expect to be plunged into the horrific early days of the Puppet Frenzy. In the base game, we woke up in the aftermath of the ruins of the massacre, but now we will most likely get to experience the chaos firsthand. With new locations, enemies, and a mysterious guide it certainly seems interesting.

Lies of P: Overture was officially unveiled at Sony’s 2025 State of Play event. We saw a new cinematic trailer for the DLC which showed us a new chapter in the game’s dark and twisted take on Pinocchio. Developer Round8 Studio describes the DLC as a “developers’ cut,” suggesting it will include ideas and story elements that didn’t make it into the base game.

Revealing Lies of P: Overture, a new prequel DLC set before the collapse of the grandiose city of Krat.

that the DLC is a refined vision of the story that Lies of P set out to tell. Much like a director’s cut version of a film, this DLC allowed the team to fully explore parts of the game that were previously left unexplored. And honestly, this is great news because the base game does a lot of good things. So more of that is good.

As a sequel, the Overture DLC won’t just rewind time. We’re also getting the introduction of Lea, the Legendary Stalker. According to what we found out in the base game, Stalkers are elite hunters who protect humans from rogue puppets. It seems like the DLC is going to let us actually meet one in action.

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Lies of P DLC out this summer! (Funny that it’s releasing in the summer when apparently it’s going to be winter in the DLC.) And I have SO MANY QUESTIONS? Is that a Gunblade?! Who is the Stalker behind Pinnochio? Did someone else take up the mantle of the Hound?

Players who fell in love with Lies of P’s steampunk setting will find plenty to explore in the Overture DLC. In the main game, we explored the ruins of a once-great city, piecing together its history through scattered clues. Now, we get to see Krat in its prime, though on the brink of disaster.

We don’t have a release date but boy is the hype real

Of course, a Lies of P expansion wouldn’t be complete without new combat features and changes. The combat in the base game already had the punishing difficulty expected from a Soulslike game, and with Overture, Round8 Studio is doubling down on it. We’re going to see new weapons, Legion Arms, and new enemy types.

In true Lies of P fashion, we hope that player choice will continue to shape the world and its outcomes. While the main game allowed players to lie and influence the story, the DLC being a prequel raises new questions about the consequences of their actions. Could we alter events in some way? Or will we simply be an observer, doomed to witness the inevitable destruction of the city?

Lies of P’s unexpected success made it one of the best Soulslike titles outside of FromSoftware’s catalog, and with the Overture DLC Round8 Studio is telling us that it isn’t done refining its vision. We’re gonna get an expansion to the game’s lore but also set the stage for its already-confirmed sequel.
