Lies of P’s first expansion, Overture releases this summer, and the new content is looking great. GameSpot’s Tamoor Hussain played a demo of the upcoming expansion, including a spooky new zoo level filled with mutant animals, and a preview of the new boss rush mode.
Tamoor compares Overture to the Bloodborne expansion Old Hunters–not so much because of the content of the expansion, but because the developers now seem confident enough with the game to get creative with it. From what he played in the demo, Tamoor says that Overture shows a level of creativity above what is present in the base game–and it’s also harder than anything in the base game.

The second option for the boss rush is more like a gauntlet, where you have a limit on your health as you play through a set playlist of bosses. You can see more from the demo in the video above, including some of the unique new weapons that are coming in Lies of P: Overture.
As the first major expansion for Lies of P, Overture will be shaking things up a bit–including adding some easier difficulty modes for those who find the souls-like’s base difficulty too intimidating. The expansion content will take around 20 hours, and chronologically is intended to take place in the middle of the base game, not at the end.
