For those excited for developer Neowiz’s highly anticipated Overture add-on content, the wait is over: the Lies of P DLC is out right now.
The post-launch story content for Neowiz’s Pinocchio soulslike was shadow-dropped for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S during Summer Game Fest 2025 today. It means you can stop what you’re doing right now and go play it for yourself without the need to wait for a release date announcement. You can see what lies in store with the gameplay trailer below.
“Lies of P: Overture is a dramatic prequel to the acclaimed soulslike action RPG, Lies of P,” an official description says. “It transports you to the city of Krat in its final days of haunting, late-19th-century Belle Époque beauty. On the brink of the Puppet Frenzy massacre, you follow a legendary Stalker—a mysterious guide—through untold stories and chilling secrets. As Geppetto’s deadly puppet, you’ll journey through Krat and its surroundings, uncover hidden backstories, and face epic battles that shape the past and future of Lies of P.”
Along with its new story, Lies of P: Overture, of course, comes with new bosses and weapons to learn across its 15-20-hour average playtime. It’ll also feature a first for the franchise: difficulty options. Director Jiwan Choi recently explained the reason Neowiz decided to add options for players looking for more or less challenge, saying that it came down to a desire to allow a “wider audience” to enjoy the game.
Lies of P: Overture is an exciting addition to Neowiz’s dark fantasy universe, but it’s surprise launch isn’t much of a surprise. The shadow-drop reveal actually leaked earlier today.
