The latest update for Lies of P brings significant changes to its Overture DLC, making it more accessible while fine-tuning difficulty settings. Players can now jump into the expansion earlier in their playthrough, with additional adjustments aimed at smoothing out the experience for both newcomers and veterans.
Previously, accessing the DLC required reaching Chapter 9, but the update allows entry as early as Chapter 5, provided players are on their second playthrough (NG+). For those tackling the game for the first time, certain enemies have been rebalanced to ease the challenge. The changes come as a relief, particularly for anyone who struggled with notoriously tough encounters.
Alongside these tweaks, the base game now offers new difficulty options, catering to players who prefer a less punishing experience. Whether speeding through the story or diving into the DLC, the adjustments provide more flexibility. The update also addresses several bugs, further refining the overall gameplay.
Lies of P has surpassed 3 million copies sold, bolstered by the Overture DLC’s release. While the game previously hit 7 million players through Xbox Game Pass, these figures didn’t reflect direct sales. To mark the milestone, developer Round8 is reportedly rewarding its team with bonuses, extra vacation time, and even Switch 2 consoles, a well-deserved celebration for the studio’s success.
The DLC made a surprise debut during Summer Game Fest, and though details remain scarce, a sequel has already been confirmed. For now, players can enjoy a smoother journey through Krat, with fewer obstacles standing in their way.
