Bug Fix

• Fixed a bug where players, under very rare conditions, were unable to access 'Lies of P: Overture'.

In a dramatic reveal fitting for Geppetto’s Puppet, NEOWIZ and ROUND8 Studio launched its DLC expansion to Lies of P on stage at Summer Game Fest. Viewers were treated to a surprise announcement that the DLC is available now.

Lies of P: Overture transports players back in time to experience untold stories and chilling secrets that shape the past and future of Lies of P, all while unlocking an arsenal of weapon combinations and Legion Arms that provide unprecedented freedom to forge unique combat styles.

In addition to the DLC launch, the base game has received a patch with two challenging boss battle modes. These modes are accessible via the Hotel Krat Stargazer once players have seen at least one base game ending. Battle Memories allow players to relive battles for previously defeated bosses with new tiers. Death March offers a challenging consecutive series of previously defeated bosses with limited player health and items.

New players can also look forward to two new difficulty settings. For those interested in a more story-focused experience, these settings offer varying degrees of intensity in combat encounters.
