Overview

  • The surprise release of the Overture DLC on June 6 expanded the Pinocchio-themed Soulslike with new story content, weapons and areas while introducing a marked difficulty spike
  • Players on Reddit and Steam reported that early kangaroo and elephant enemies and New Game Plus scaling felt excessively punishing compared to the base game
  • In a June 10 Director’s Letter, game director Jiwon Choi confirmed that Neowiz is reviewing a range of balance tweaks, including difficulty reduction
  • Choi warned that because combat is fundamental to the experience, any modifications will require meticulous work and thorough testing and no patch date has been set
  • Until official adjustments arrive, players can use the DLC’s newly added easier difficulty options to progress through the expansion
