Cross the bounds of time and join in my excitement as we take you back to the beginning of the Lies of P storyline. I am sure you’ll agree that the long journey to bring you this news was well worth it! The first gameplay trailer for Lies of P: Overture was just unveiled at the State of Play, filled with incredible revelations. This prequel is a DLC expansion to the original game.
This was a historic debut for us, and it was especially gratifying to share the cinematic moment with fans, veterans of Soulslike games and newcomers alike.
As you might have guessed from the title, Lies of P: Overture takes you back in time to uncover the hidden stories of Krat. Do you remember the moment when you, as Geppetto’s most ambitious masterwork, woke up in the middle of the great Puppet Frenzy, a massacre that devastated the entire city around you? Now, you will venture back in time to experience the harrowing journey that birthed that fateful moment. Through Lies of P: Overture, we aimed to fully refine, forge and complete the story as we originally envisioned it.
There’s a term in movie making known as a “director’s cut.” This version differs from an initial theatrical release and usually includes additional footage the filmmaker believes perfects the work. With Lies of P: Overture I wonder if we subconsciously aimed to create a “developers’ cut” of Lies of P.
Our production crew had so many stories and features they were eager to explore. We were constantly brainstorming until the very end. Figuring out how to weave these elements into Lies of P: Overture was a major challenge for me as the director. With this new retrospective, we’re committed to ensuring that the love and support we received for Lies of P is honored and, at the same time, telling the story we’ve always wanted to share. Rest assured, we’ll continue giving it our all until the very end.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for all the feedback and insight we received from our Citizens of Krat since the launch of Lies of P. Your invaluable feedback significantly aided our developers in perfecting Lies of P and its dramatic prequel, dropping this summer on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro.
Our fans, beloved community of gamers, you complete us. Join our team in concluding the remarkable story arc of Lies of P.
Thank you, always.
