Game director Choi Ji-won has confirmed that two new difficulty levels will be added to the base game of Lies of P, alongside a boss rush mode. This move is intended to attract more players who may have been deterred by the game’s notorious difficulty.
Choi emphasizes that the additional options are not meant to compromise the game’s core challenge, but rather to create a sense of accomplishment for players as they progress through the story. The boss rush mode will feature two difficulty settings and offer exclusive rewards for those who can defeat the fearsome foes.
The addition of Overture, a prequel to Lies of P, has expanded the game’s storyline and content. According to Choi, Overture was created to fill gaps in the original game’s narrative, making it feel more comprehensive and complete.
Lies of P Overture is set to release in 2025 for $29.99, with a free update expected to introduce the new difficulty settings and boss rush mode to the base game. The move aims to make the game more accessible to a wider audience while maintaining its core identity as a soulslike experience.
