Lies of P: Overture Full of Bosses, Weapons, Ideas that Didn't Fit in the Base Game

The hotly anticipated extension to what many consider the best Souls-like game ever created is Lies of P: Overture. If you’re still hoping for a Bloodborne comeback and haven’t purchased it yet, I strongly recommend giving it a try. Game director Choi Ji-won was recently questioned about the contents of Overture, and it sounds substantial – over double the size of Bloodborne’s The Old Hunter DLC, jam-packed with everything the developers wished they could have included in the original game.

According to Choi, who spoke with GamesRadar+ at GDC, players can expect to spend around 15 to 20 hours overcoming Overture if they’re veterans of the original game. He clarified that Overture is not a standalone game but rather an extension of the base game, with significant connections between the two. The director also mentioned that creating the expansion was like finishing off the Lies of P experience, which proved to be quite demanding.

Given that the original game is estimated to take players between 30 to 40 hours to complete, it significantly expands the overall playtime: “Upon release of the base game, we had to focus on providing top-notch quality rather than delivering everything at once, ensuring each part was of the highest standard.

In the future, Overture will return P to Krat during its peak, also revisiting the time of the Puppet Massacre, when Krat’s self-governing workers turned against their creators in a brutal spree of violence. The extended edition will be brimming with challenging bosses, novel weapon combinations, and intriguing lore twists. With the original ending being so unpredictable, we’re eagerly looking forward to replaying it all over again and speculating about the upcoming sequel.
