Summary
- Neowiz teases the Krat Zoo as a "freaky" highlight of Lies of P: Overture with mutant zoo animals.
- The DLC will have new difficulty options, boss rush mode, and seamless integration after the base game.
Developer Neowiz has recently revealed more information about one area that will be featured in Lies of P’s “Overture” expansion, the Krat Zoo. This new “freaky” zoo will be one of the highlights of the Lies of P expansion, and new reports have given an interesting overview of the area.
Lies of P was released in 2023, and it has sold over a million units since then. Due to the Soulslike’s success, Neowiz has announced a prequel expansion called “Overture,” which will be released sometime during the summer. The DLC will function as a prequel to the base game, showing the city of Krat before the Puppet Frenzy massacre. Recent previews of Lies of P: Overture highlighted the Krat Zoo, the expansion’s first area.
What Lies of P's Sequel Will Hopefully Take from the First Game
A reflective exploration of Lies of P’s distinct mechanics and design philosophy could meaningfully influence its anticipated sequel.
Now, GameSpot has reported on Lies of P: Overture’s Krat Zoo, unveiling a comprehensive video detailing the location. The Krat Zoo will be a “weird, and freaky” zoo-like level filled with mutant versions of regular animals one would find in a zoo, such as gorillas, giraffes, kangaroos, and more. According to the reports, the new area shows a level of creativity above the base game, but it’s also packed with difficult combat sequences, which will be perfect for experienced gamers who want a challenge.
Lies of P's New Overture DLC Features a 'Freaky' Zoo
Aside from the DLC itself, Neowiz will add new difficulty options and a boss rush mode to Lies of P when the expansion is released. With the Battle Memories mode, gamers will be able to face off against all bosses in the regular game, plus the ones added in the DLC. Fortunately for gamers who have always wanted Lies of P to be easier, the new Butterfly’s Guidance and Awakened Puppet options will offer a diminished challenge.
When the DLC is finally released, gamers will be able to play Lies of P: Overture seamlessly after the base game. According to the devs, players who are still playing the title will be able to access it by playing it from Chapter 9 onward, too.
While the developers seem focused on the expansion right now, Neowiz teased its next game after Lies of P last year. According to the studio, its partner Round 8 Studio is already working on a new survival horror game set in a sci-fi world. Unfortunately, not much is known about the project, only that it will be a new IP created using Unreal Engine 5. Hopefully, it’ll be as exciting as the popular Lies of P has been.
