Lies of P‘s first expansion, Overture releases this summer, and the new content is looking great. GameSpot’s Tamoor Hussain played a demo of the upcoming expansion, including a spooky new zoo level filled with mutant animals, and a preview of the new boss rush mode.
Tamoor compares Overture to the Bloodborne expansion Old Hunters–not so much because of the content of the expansion, but because the developers now seem confident enough with the game to get creative with it. From what he played in the demo, Tamoor says that Overture shows a level of creativity above what is present in the base game–and it’s also harder than anything in the base game.
The Overture demo featured a zoo-like level filled with “weird and freaky” versions of animals you might find in a regular zoo, including gorillas, kangaroos, wolf-like creatures, and a horrifying-looking giraffe. You can check out plenty of footage of the new level in the video, as well as some of the mutated monsters that populate it.
