Lies of P borrows a great deal from its source material; however, it fails to feature a few great characters that should make an appearance in DLC.
The trailer forLies of P: Overturefeatures some footage of combat that offers a sneak peek into a new array of climactic boss fights.

Furthermore,a flurry of difficult, game-influencing, decisions should be expected, similar to those experienced in present-day Krat when deciding whether to lie during the base game.

From what’s been shown so far, it seems as though Neowiz and Round8 have continued to expand upon the features that madeLies of Pmemorable, butmore details can be expected in the coming monthsleading up to the DLC’s release.
