In a world crowded with imitation attempts to replicate the success of From Software’s iconic Dark Souls, “Lies of P” undeniably stands out. With its intriguing twist on the beloved tale of Pinocchio, set in a tragic and steampunk universe, this game has secured its unique spot amidst fierce competition. As the anticipation builds, fans of this surprise hit will be thrilled to learn that more content is headed their way in the form of a new, snowy prequel DLC titled “Overture.”
Although the existence of Lies of P’s Overture DLC was already known, a fresh trailer premiered during the ID@Xbox livestream, shedding more light on what players can expect. The trailer evokes a sense of sorrow and nostalgia. As the protagonist, P, navigates through a serene snowy landscape, we catch glimpses of peculiar wax monuments scattered throughout his journey.
An enigmatic masked swordswoman makes her appearance, as P allies himself with her to face shared adversaries. The trailer concludes with a striking image of the pair standing before an imposing mansion, as snow swirls around them in a fierce storm.
For fans, it’s exhilarating to know that one of the most impressive soulslikes in recent times is poised to expand its universe with a significant new chapter. This DLC sets the stage for the Puppet Frenzy, the mechanical uprising that launched the original story, yet it also charts an independent course. The wintry rural setting contrasts sharply with the dark, urban vibe of the main game. As for the swordswoman’s role, both in narrative and gameplay, her presence hints at an ally who will likely be pivotal.
Though the trailer didn’t pinpoint an exact release date, it did remind us that Lies of P Overture is slated for a Summer 2025 launch.
