The first Lies of P expansion was announced during the February 2025 State of Play, and it'll arrive in Summer 2025 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Overture is a prequel that'll take players back to the beginning of the Puppet Frenzy, revealing how the city of Krat fell into ruin.

As Geppetto's Puppet, P, you'll come into contact with a strange artifact that allows you to travel back in time to Krat alongside the legendary Stalker Lea and uncover the dark secrets that led to its destruction. Developer Round8 Studio says that players can expect opulent locations to explore, mysteries to uncover, and of course, cunning enemies to test your skills against. P will be able to make use of new weapons and an additional combat style to help him survive against overwhelming odds.

"Through Lies of P: Overture, we aimed to fully refine, forge, and complete the story as we originally envisioned it. There's a term in movie making known as a director's cut," game director Ji Won Choi said in a blog post. "This version differs from an initial theatrical release and usually includes additional footage the filmmaker believes perfects the work. With Lies of P: Overture I wonder if we subconsciously aimed to create a developers cut of Lies of P."

Lies of P was a big hit when it was first released, as its Bloodborne-esque gameplay and lavish world design made for a memorable experience. Shortly after release, game director Ji Won Choi confirmed that DLC was in development and the studio was working on a sequel.

The ending of Lies of P did tease a very wild location for P to possibly explore next, but we've also got a few ideas for other classic tales that could form a great foundation for the sequel.
