Latest Developments (June 6th, 2:58 PM PT)

Contrary to earlier expectations, Summer Game Fest 2025 revealed Lies of P: Overture alongside an immediate DLC release. The expansion, listed for $29.99 on Steam, debuted alongside its announcement trailer.

Initial Report (June 6th)

An unofficial preview of the Lies of P: Overture DLC surfaced online prematurely, sparking speculation about a surprise launch. The trailer’s concluding segment intensified discussions by displaying “Available now on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One,” hinting at potential imminent availability – possibly aligning with Sunday’s Xbox Game Showcase.

This swift rollout aligns with existing expectations, given Round8 Studio’s previously announced summer 2025 release window. The prequel expansion explores Krat’s earlier days prior to the main game, featuring the Legendary Tracker protagonist. Despite being DLC, developers confirm a substantial 20+ hour campaign matching the base game’s scope.

The expansion retains Lies of P’s signature challenge, with certain segments designed to test veteran players. However, an adjustable difficulty system aims to broaden accessibility, welcoming newcomers to the soulslike genre.
