Lies of P Director Says Overture DLC Isn’t Connected to Base Game’s Massive Final Cutscene Reveal

Ever since the announcement of the upcoming DLC for Lies of P, titled Overture, fans have been buzzing with anticipation about the mysteries it might unveil. However, during the recent Game Developers Conference, IGN discovered one mystery that Overture won't solve: the enigmatic final cutscene of the base game.

For those yet to complete Lies of P, here's a spoiler-free summary: the game concludes with a cutscene that hints at the future direction of the Lies of P universe. This scene has sparked widespread speculation among fans about its implications and potential connections to the DLC. However, Lies of P director Jiwon Choi clarified that this cutscene is not related to Overture. He teased, "Please stay tuned for additional announcements in the future."

Neowiz has confirmed a sequel, Lies of P 2, leading many to believe that the cutscene might be setting up the narrative for the sequel. However, details about Lies of P 2 remain scarce, and Choi offered no hints during our conversation.

Choi emphasized Neowiz's commitment to quality, stating, "What I can certainly tell you is when we share such news or media and assets with you, you'll know for sure that we are ready to present it to you. And that follows very our strict focus on quality [amid] all the pressure that we talked about in the past. So that is the one promise that I can share with you, that when we actually share those contents with you and the news, we will be ready to share that with you."

The scene in question, which we discussed with Choi, is the "Dorothy scene." As detailed in our previous coverage, the final cutscene shows Paracelcus on a phone call, mentioning, "find her, for sure. Another key of ours: Dorothy." The scene then reveals the iconic striped sock legs and ruby slippers of Dorothy from *The Wizard of Oz*, suggesting that future *Lies of P* content might explore other public domain fairy tales. However, Choi confirmed that this scene will not be addressed in *Overture*.

SPOILERS END HERE.

While *Overture* won't explain the final cutscene, Choi provided some tantalizing hints about what the DLC will include. He encouraged fans to replay the base game, as it contains clues about the upcoming content:

"When you play through the base game again, you'll see many hints that we scattered throughout the whole experience," Choi said. "A lot of hints and a lot of windows into the world, and you'll be able to actually see that and experience that in the expansion…There are many things that I actually wanted to accomplish when we were working on the base game. It didn't get put into the base game, and all of that, at least key elements of that are going to be included in the expansion."

Choi also acknowledged that some fans are already piecing together Neowiz's plans, noting that he regularly reads fan theories online and finds some to be "quite close."

Additionally, Choi shared that Overture is expected to take 15-20 hours for experienced players to complete. The DLC will be accessible after reaching a "certain" chapter of the game and will be playable until the end. It's also worth noting that Overture is a prequel, with the protagonist being transported back in time to Krat just before its fall. The DLC will introduce new locations, enemies, bosses, characters, and weapons, though Choi kept the specifics under wraps to maintain the surprise for the release.
