The highly anticipated expansion for Lies of P, titled Overture, will be released this summer, almost two years after the game’s initial launch date. This DLC promises to take players back in time, exploring the events that preceded the devastating Puppet Massacre that ravaged the city of Krat. In a recent trailer presented at the PlayStation Showcase, developer Neowiz offered a glimpse of the story, which promises a deeper and more immersive narrative, along with new mechanics and content.
Jiwon Choi, the game director, has mentioned that Overture aims to be a “developer’s cut” of Lies of P, similar to what a ‘director’s cut’ would be in the cinematic realm. “I believe you will agree that the long journey to bring you this news has been worth it,” Choi shared, referring to the ambition to capture the essence of the story as it was originally conceived.
New possibilities for an already acclaimed game
The expansion will include new bosses and weapons, elements that will significantly enrich gameplay and combat. Fans of the game have expressed excitement at the possibility of trying new weapons in combat, as the combat system of Lies of P has been favorably compared to the creations of FromSoftware, receiving very positive reviews.
Additionally, it has been reported that the development team is working on a new survival horror title set in space, suggesting that the creators are expanding their portfolio into diverse genres. These announcements have generated speculation about the future direction of the studio and the impact of Lies of P on the overall landscape of video games.
Neowiz tries to be as transparent as possible and has just published a report of its earnings. This has sparked a wave of enthusiasm in the gaming community by announcing the arrival of a spiritual sequel to Bloodborne, scheduled for 2026. This title is based on the success of Lies of P, a game released last year that was very well received for its gameplay inspired by the mechanics of Souls games.

Will Dorothy and her red shoes be the protagonists?
Neowiz has also confirmed the release date of the DLC for Lies of P, which is expected to arrive very soon. This expansion is highly anticipated, especially after the original game’s ending revealed a new character, Dorothy, who seems to be connected to The Wizard of Oz. Rumors suggest that she could be the protagonist of both the DLC and the sequel, although it remains to be seen how the plots will develop.
Reddit users have been debating the possibility that the DLC will focus on Dorothy, especially after one of the game’s endings left these questions open. Commentators have also highlighted how the rapid development of the sequel could be linked to market research conducted by Neowiz, reinforcing the premise that the company is responding to the demands and desires of its followers.
With all this in mind, more details about the DLC and the sequel are expected to be revealed throughout the year. However, fans are eager to know if Dorothy will be the protagonist of one or both projects, generating speculation about the direction this intriguing saga will take. The coming months promise to be exciting for followers of Lies of P and the Bloodborne universe.
The best Xbox Game Pass games you can play now, from the latest releases of this year to timeless video game classics.
One of the great gifts of this Christmas has been the Xbox. Whether it’s the Series X or the Series S, this has been a year where, thanks to the offers and a catalog that is settling, it begins to shine on its own. But let’s not fool ourselves. A good reason to switch to Xbox is GamePass. But it can be intimidating. There are many games. Too much to choose from. Where to start? Well, here we make a selection of the best games to jump into right now so you don’t have to navigate for hours without knowing what to play.
Sometimes you feel like playing a simple, sweet game that makes you feel comfortable and warm. A Short Hike is exactly that. An adventure of reaching the top of a mountain by the route that seems most suitable to us. With a simple open world, many possibilities, and never forcing us to go on a specific path or even reach the top, it is a game that encourages us to simply live in the moment.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Sometimes you feel like playing a simple game, sometimes you feel like embarking on a dozens of hours epic where you can get lost and feel like you will never get out of there if you don’t want to. That’s what Assassin’s Creed Odyssey offers you, a huge game, full of collectibles, mysteries and most importantly: a great story and even better characters. The best Assasin’s Creed to get into today, and it’s even available on GamePass.
Cocoon
During this year that is ending in Xbox Game Pass, some great games have appeared. One of them has been Cocoon. An excellent third-person puzzle game created by the designer of Limbo and Inside. It lasts only five or six hours, but it is designed with an absolutely insane finesse. And if you want more, you also have Limbo and Inside on the platform.
Although nostalgia is a trap, sometimes you can make a burrow in the trap. That happens with GoldenEye007. The version available on Xbox Game Pass not only serves to check how shooters have evolved in the last twenty-five years, but also to enjoy a game that you may have enjoyed during your childhood. The first shooter that, for many, was the excuse to get together with friends and shoot each other.
Hi-Fi Rush
Although surprise releases are becoming more common, surprise announcements and releases are still extremely rare. Even more so in a game the size of Hi-Fi Rush. But it turns out that this game from Tango Gameworks, a mix of action and rhythm game, is an absolute delight. Fun, clever, and very dynamic, it’s the perfect game to spend a weekend laughing and rocking out.
Jusant
Sometimes all you need is a game with excellent mechanics and a carefully crafted environmental narrative. Although we could be talking about a game from From Software, we are actually talking about a game from Don’t Nod. Because Jusant perfectly accomplishes both things: introducing perfect climbing mechanics that make you want to keep going forever, and a delicate and well-thought-out narrative that rewards paying attention and taking your time with the game. A delight that you shouldn’t miss.
Lies of P
Talking about From Software games, this year there has finally been a studio capable of making a Soulslike that can satisfy us. Andits name is Lies of P. With an extravagant reinterpretation of Pinocchio’s story, it builds a very satisfying Dark Souls-style game that has its own twist based on those foundations. Adjusted through patches, it is still not as good as From Software’s games, but it is almost as good as them. And that’s not saying little.
Although it hasn’t turned out as we expected, Starfield is a very interesting game if you are a fan of Bethesda games. Although “Skyrim in space” is a title that is too big for it, it is true that, after 40 hours of story, a universe of very interesting possibilities opens up in a game that is somewhat lacking in all its aspects. Bad? Not exactly. But even more than Skyrim, it is a game that you have to discover how to find fun in it. And if you are capable, it can be fun like no other.
Wolfenstein: The New Order
We live in a problematic world in certain aspects, so it’s okay to be able to immerse ourselves in power fantasies that allow us to do what we can’t in reality. For example, Wolfenstein: The New Order. A game where we embody a soldier who faces the Nazis after they have won the Second World War. In this game, MachineGames managed to perfect a heavy and brutal shooter style that, even today, remains extremely satisfying. That, and killing Nazis, is clearly the ultimate power fantasy for 2024.
Yakuza: Like A Dragon
The Yakuza saga has gained a lot of popularity in recent years. The problem is that knowing where to start can be very complex. We’ll make it easy for you: play Yakuza: Like A Dragon. That will leave you ready to play the next installment of the saga, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and jump into the previous titles of the franchise. All of them available on GamePass, so you can immerse yourself in literally 200 or 300 hours of an epic yakuza epic, if that’s what you want. Or just stick with the new ones, because they are semi-independent.
The best soulslike of the year has confirmed that it will have a sequel, DLC and a new balancing patch, thus securing its throne
For years, it seemed impossible to create a soulslike game capable of rivaling From Software’s titles. Not without reason. The excellence achieved by the Japanese studio in defining and shaping the genre made all its imitators appear to be just that: imitators. It didn’t feel like anyone was bringing something new to the table or doing their own thing. At least, until Neowiz Games came along to shake things up.
Lies of P has been a sales success, receiving notable acclaim from critics, and it doesn’t seem like the buzz will die down anytime soon. This is according to the game’s director, Ji Won Choi, in a video where he discussed the franchise’s future.
The most important points revealed are that, due to its success, we can expect Lies of P to have a sequel at some point in the future. Although no specific release date was given, he mentioned that they are already working on it. Additionally, he confirmed that they are simultaneously working on a new balance patch and a DLC for Lies of P, about which he could provide a bit more information.
Regarding the balance patch, he has mentioned that it is expected to arrive during this month of November, and they have focused on listening to player feedback. They will continue refining the difficulty of the early moments of the game, adjusting the difficulty of some enemies, and unlocking certain abilities for players to start with. As for the DLC, Choi has shared two images, featuring a large water turbine and two stranded ships, which will be part of the DLC content.
Lies of P was released on September 14th and has sold around one million copies in just a month. It is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and Game Pass.
Lies of P, the Pinocchio game set in the Belle Époque with Bloodborne-style gameplay, announces release date and imminent demo.
We all want more Bloodborne, but while that doesn’t seem possible, it appears that we’ll at least have a game clearly inspired by it: Lies of P. Developed by Neowiz Games, it is a soulslike game that takes the story of Pinocchio, sets it during the Belle Époque, and gives it a dark twist. Now we have a new trailer that showcases Pinochio’s special powers in his arm and emphasizes the importance of parrying, which sets it apart from Bloodborne and defines its own personality.
Lies of P will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox Series X and Series S on September 19. Furthermore, as a great final surprise, a demo is now available that will allow us to experience this new soulslike game and discover if it will finally satisfy our desire for more Bloodborne.
