The director of Lies of P, Jiwon Choi, has shared details about the evolution of the game and its future, including plans for expansions, sequels, and spin-offs. With the upcoming DLC titled Overture just around the corner, Choi has confirmed that the focus will remain on the single-player experience, omitting cooperative elements at this time. The essence of the game continues to revolve around the individual player’s experience, an aspect that Choi considers central to its development.
No multiplayer… for the moment
The Overture DLC promises to offer between 15 and 20 hours of content for experienced players, including numerous bosses and new gameplay elements that could not be incorporated into the original release. Choi has emphasized that the goal is to create a high-quality, premium experience, focusing on completing what was started with Lies of P.
Despite the influence of Elden Ring Nightreign, which has introduced multiplayer elements into the soulslike genre, Choi does not feel the pressure to replicate this approach. After trying the new title from FromSoftware, he found it refreshing but reaffirmed his intention to forge a unique identity for Lies of P. According to him, the current development focuses on creating a distinctive style, away from imitation.
However, Choi has left the door open to the possibility of including multiplayer features in future projects, indicating that the team is open to new ideas in development. This suggests that, although the present and immediate future of Lies of P focus on single-player experiences, shared adventures are not ruled out on the horizon.
