In the vast world of pesky online rumors, some say that Lies of P: Overture, the promised DLC for the soulslike hit Lies of P, will be shadow-dropped at Summer Game Fest. This speculation has gained some steam after a user decided to stir the pot further with allegations of proof of the surprise release that sent the gaming community into a frenzy.
The original tweet, of course, exploded with the suggestion that this DLC will just drop with no warning procedure- something that’s been Xbox territory before. If it is indeed true, this would be such a large victory for souls dance fans who have waited so eagerly for further content.
But really, no one believed it. Several were accusing it to be a bait and switch doing so without any scant of an official confirmation, one user stating, “lol xbots dreaming again,” and with the timing assessment going back and forth slain by the included news of yet another Korean souls-like landing about the same time.
Each way, all hype forcibly took over. Players began to speculate on what may be added with the already confirmed difficulty option- maybe less brutal fighting for a change. Fans are begging for a physical reprint of the base title, another one wanting to shout, “I’d love to give you some money for your game.”
The chatter goes on. Other hopefuls hope it will bounce onto Switch 2, and some feel relieved that it may really be coming. “I need this DLC NOW!” was tweeted from one side of the system, and many voices joined that cry.
If the shadowdrop were to take place, then it would probably happen during the Xbox showcase, considering the platform’s track record. Until then, gamers join the deceivers in refreshing their feeds, praying that yet another deep snipe shouldn’t be theirs today.
One thing is certain: whether it releases this day or late this summer, Lies of P: Overture is poised to become the most talked-about DLC of 2024. If judged by the base game’s standards, well, it’s worth every day of the wait, or, consider it: the price of its absence.
