Lies of P Prequel Expansion DLC Announced For Summer 2025

Back in February 2025, during the State of Play broadcast, I got some exciting news as a gamer – the first expansion for Lies of P was announced! It’s set to drop this coming summer on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. As a fan, I can hardly wait to dive back into the world of Krat with Overture, which serves as a prequel that takes us right back to the origins of the Puppet Frenzy, unveiling how our beloved city met its tragic downfall.

As a puppet named P created by Geppetto, you’ll encounter an unusual artifact that enables time travel, taking you back to the mysterious land of Krat alongside the legendary figure Lea, also known as Stalker Lea. This journey will unravel the hidden horrors that ultimately led to Krat’s demise. Round8 Studio has hinted at rich environments to explore, puzzles to solve, and challenging adversaries to face off against. Equipped with new weapons and a fresh combat style, P will be able to adapt and fight against seemingly insurmountable odds.

In a recent blog post, game director Ji Won Choi expressed that with “Through Lies of P: Overture,” they strived to polish, shape, and finalize the story as they had initially conceived it. There’s a term in filmmaking called a “director’s cut,” which is different from the initial release and often contains extra scenes that the director feels enhance the work. In a similar vein, Ji Won Choi speculates that perhaps unconsciously, we were working towards creating a developer’s version of Lies of P with Overture.

Initially, the game “Lies of P” received widespread acclaim upon its debut, thanks to its gameplay reminiscent of Bloodborne and its visually stunning world design. Not long after its launch, the game’s director, Ji Won Choi, announced that additional content and a sequel were in the works at the studio.

At the conclusion of Lies of P, there was a hint at an extremely intriguing setting where P might venture next. However, we’ve also been brainstorming some concepts based on well-known stories that could provide an excellent basis for the sequel.
