The director of Lies of P, Choi Ji-Won, has expressed enthusiasm for exploring new ideas, including the possibility of developing a multiplayer game, following his experience with Elden Ring: Nightreign's network test. Dive in to discover more about the duration of the Overture DLC and what fans can anticipate from the upcoming content.

Lies of P Overture DLC Updates

Open To Any Sort of Considerations

Choi Ji-Won, the director behind Lies of P, found inspiration in the refreshing gameplay of Elden Ring: Nightreign’s network test. During his interview at the 2025 Game Developers Conference (GDC) with Eurogamer, Choi discussed the evolution of the Souls genre. As a long-time fan of FromSoftware, Choi's admiration is reflected in the design of Lies of P.

Reflecting on Elden Ring: Nightreign, Choi remarked, "The experience was incredibly refreshing and innovative. It's clear that FromSoftware continues to push the boundaries of imagination and vision, which in turn, inspired me to ensure that Overture delivers the best possible experience for our players."

This enthusiasm extends to future projects, as Choi shared, "We are definitely open to exploring any sort of new directions, including multiplayer games, in our future endeavors."

Despite his appreciation for FromSoftware's work, Choi clarified in an interview with Games Radar+ at GDC 2025 that his inspirations are diverse. He stated, "My influences stem from a wide range of games, each offering unique experiences. I blend these inspirations to craft a unique Lies of P experience, tailored for our fans."

Overture Takes 15-20 Hours for Experienced Players

Choi revealed that the Overture DLC is expected to take experienced players between 15 to 20 hours to complete. This expansion is packed with new bosses and content that the team had originally envisioned for the base game's launch. Choi elaborated, "Overture isn’t just an add-on; it's deeply connected to the base game. Developing this expansion felt like completing the Lies of P experience, which was both challenging and rewarding."

Set as a prequel, Overture takes players back to the final days of Krat, following a legendary Stalker. It incorporates new ideas, player feedback, and previously unused concepts, aiming to provide a comprehensive experience similar to a Director’s Cut, rounding out the game's narrative arc.

Choi explained, "When we released the base game, we had to prioritize quality, which meant we couldn't include everything we wanted initially. The support from our community after the release pushed us to deliver all the content we envisioned in this expansion."

Overture is Not Connected to the Final Cutscene of the Base Game

In an interview with IGN at the 2025 GDC, Choi clarified that Overture does not directly connect to the final cutscene of the base game. While the end of the base game hinted at potential future directions for the Lies of P universe, Choi confirmed that the upcoming DLC explores different narrative threads.

Choi had previously announced in a Director’s Letter video in November 2023 that a sequel to Lies of P is in development. However, details about Lies of P 2 remain under wraps. He assured fans, "When we're ready to share more about upcoming content or news, you can be confident that it will meet our high standards of quality. We remain committed to delivering the best possible experience despite any pressures."

Choi encouraged players to revisit the base game, hinting that it contains clues about what the DLC might entail. He also acknowledged the fan theories circulating online, noting that some have come remarkably close to the truth.

Lies of P: Overture is slated for a Summer 2025 release, with no specific date announced yet. The expansion will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Stay tuned for further updates and dive deeper into our coverage below!
