Overture DLC Unrelated to Lies of P's Final Cutscene, Director Confirms

by Alexis May 15,2025

Ever since the announcement of the upcoming DLC for Lies of P, titled Overture, fans have been buzzing with anticipation and theories about the mysteries it might unveil. At the recent Game Developers Conference, IGN gained some clarity on what the DLC won't cover: 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 hinting at potential future directions for the Lies of P universe. This scene has sparked numerous fan theories about its implications and potential connections to the DLC. However, Lies of P director Jiwon Choi has clarified that this particular cutscene is not related to Overture. Choi teased, "Please stay tuned for additional announcements in the future," keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Neowiz has already confirmed a full sequel to Lies of P, suggesting that the mysterious cutscene may be tied to this upcoming project. Details about Lies of P 2 remain scarce, and Choi was tight-lipped about any sequel-related hints during our conversation. He 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 infamous "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 Dorothy's iconic striped sock legs and ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz, hinting at a potential integration of other public domain fairy tales into the Lies of P universe. However, Choi confirmed that this intriguing twist won't be explored in Overture.

SPOILERS END HERE.

While the Dorothy mystery remains unsolved, Choi did drop some hints about what to expect in Overture. He encouraged fans to replay the base game, suggesting that it contains clues about the upcoming DLC: "When you play through the base game again, you'll see many hints that we scattered throughout the whole experience," Choi explained. "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 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 expansion."

Choi also mentioned that some fans are already piecing together Neowiz's plans, noting that he regularly reads online fan theories, some of which are "quite close" to the truth.

Additional details about Overture include an estimated playtime of 15-20 hours for experienced players. The DLC will be accessible after reaching a "certain" chapter in the game and can be played through to the end. As previously announced, Overture serves as a prequel, with the protagonist being transported back in time to Krat just before its fall. Players can look forward to new locations, enemies, bosses, characters, and weapons, though Choi remained tight-lipped about specifics, saving the surprises for the release.
