‘Lies of P’ to Adjust Overture DLC Difficulty After Criticism
The development team behind lies of P plans to release updates addressing the difficulty of its Overture DLC. This decision follows player feedback as the DLC’s recent launch at Summer Game Fest.
Director Jiwon Choi acknowledged the concerns in a video message, stating that the team is carefully considering player suggestions.Combat experience is a primary focus for adjustments.
Choi said the team identified areas that “did not turn out quite as we intended.” He added that any modifications to the combat system require careful work and testing, as it is a core element of the Lies of P experience.
The specifics and release date of the patch remain unconfirmed. Though, Choi emphasized the commitment to keeping the community informed throughout the development process. A previous patch accompanied the DLC, introducing quality-of-life improvements to the main game.
Players have voiced concerns about Overture’s difficulty, especially in New Game Plus (NG+), where even standard enemies pose a notable challenge. The DLC becomes accessible in chapter nine, leading many players to experience it for the first time on NG+ runs, potentially increasing the perceived difficulty.
Alongside the Overture DLC release, the base game received a free update that added new difficulty options. The original difficulty setting is now considered normal, with two easier modes available. This addition aims to make the Lies of P more accessible to a broader audience.
Balancing difficulty in soulslike games can be challenging, as evidenced by FromSoftware’s experience with Elden Ring. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion also faced criticism for its difficulty and was later adjusted.
What’s next
Players can anticipate further updates from the Lies of P team regarding the timing and specifics of the difficulty adjustments for the Overture DLC. The developers are actively working to refine the combat experience based on community feedback.
