Lies of P: Complete Edition Lands on Switch 2 on Aug. 6 With Overture DLC

3 articles · Updated · Tom's Guide · Aug 3

Summary

  • Aug. 6 brings Lies of P: Complete Edition to Nintendo Switch 2, packaging the base game with the Overture expansion and previously released DLC in one release.
  • The Switch 2 port largely preserves the acclaimed Soulslike experience, though distant visuals look softer, loading screens run about 15 seconds, and handheld performance can dip before a day-one 60 fps patch.
  • Multiple difficulty settings are available from day one, and most bosses allow an NPC summon, making the nearly three-year-old action RPG more approachable for newcomers.
  • The launch arrives just weeks before Elden Ring: Tarnish Edition, giving Switch 2 owners a major Soulslike release to fill the gap while expanding the genre's presence on Nintendo's hybrid console.
