Lies of P to get two new difficulty modes in upcoming update

Lies of P represents one of the best non-FromSoftware games to tackle the Souls-like genre. Released back in late 2023, the game has gone on to be enjoyed by over 7 million players. Despite this, its relative difficulty remains a point of contention for some potential players. As such, in alignment with the game’s upcoming DLC, Lies of P is getting two new difficulty options.

As reported by VGC, Neowiz – the studio behind Lies of P – has offered some new details on their upcoming Overture Expansion. As part of this, the game’s director ‘Jiwon Choi’ revealed that an update will arrive in alignment with the DLC, introducing new difficulty modes for the first time.

According to Choi, “We wanted to make sure a wider audience of players could play the game,” attributing the additions to player feedback, stating “we have a lot of feedback from customers, and from our developers. So by making development adjustments and introducing these difficulty options, we can offer the experience to different types of players. This broadens the base.”

Those who enjoy the more hardcore aspects of souls-likes praised the difficulty of Lies of P, and so it will be interesting to see how said players react to the news. Of course, this is just an added option, with the game set to have 3 difficulty modes in total:

• Butterfly’s Guidance – Easy
• Awakened Puppet – Medium
• Legendary Stalker – Default / Original

Those looking for a challenge however will still find one, with the Overture Expansion said to feature new enemies with “dozens of new patterns to learn and attacks to dodge”. Both the DLC and update will arrive at some point this Summer.
