This leak comes just hours before the Summer Game Fest showcase and two days ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase. Fans are speculating that an official announcement and release could occur during one of these major gaming events.

What We Know About Lies of P: Overture
Lies of P offers a dark, gritty reinterpretation of the classic Pinocchio story, blending challenging combat with innovative gameplay mechanics. Its unique “lie” system dynamically influences the game’s narrative and combat outcomes, creating a deeply immersive experience. The upcoming DLC promises to expand this universe with new locations, enemies, bosses, characters, and weapons.
Additionally, the DLC introduces Death March, a new game mode that allows players to face off against the game’s array of formidable bosses repeatedly. The content is expected to offer around 15-20 hours of gameplay for experienced players and will unlock after completing a specific chapter of the main story. A full sequel to Lies of P has also been announced by Neowiz, promising even more adventures in this dark universe.
Introduction of New Difficulty Options
One of the most exciting revelations is that Overture will feature difficulty settings for the first time in the game’s history. As a Soulslike title, Lies of P has been notoriously tough, especially for newcomers. Originally, the developers believed that difficulty options might dilute the game’s challenging nature, and it was launched without any.
However, following extensive player feedback, Neowiz reconsidered their stance. The developers stated, “We wanted to make the game accessible to a broader audience. After listening to our community and gathering feedback from our team, we decided to introduce difficulty options. This way, players of all skill levels can enjoy the game, which helps us expand our player base.”
Our Impressions and Future Coverage

We noted that while it doesn’t stray far from its inspiration, it executes its core mechanics exceptionally well. With this new DLC and added difficulty modes, the game promises to appeal to both hardcore fans and newcomers alike.
