Neowiz announced the Lies of P sequel has entered full-scale development and is currently at the vertical slice stage, following approval of the prototype [1, 2]. The company's Q1 2026 earnings report confirmed the sequel's production status as Neowiz moves to expand the franchise, which has sold over 3 million copies to date [1, 2].
Alongside the sequel, Neowiz is advancing two other projects. Project Rubicon, a new narrative role-playing game directed by Seungho Jin, has also reached the vertical-slice phase, demonstrating the company's focus on strong storytelling [1]. Project Windi, a Soulslike RPG directed by Kay Lee, remains in its prototype stage but is progressing steadily [1].
Neowiz management highlighted narrative as a core competency, saying, "Narrative is a core competency for Round8 and a key element in driving user immersion." They added, "When reviewing new titles, we apply three criteria: the originality and fun of the concept, market competitiveness, and our in-house development capabilities." The company has specifically recruited directors Jin Seung-ho and Lee Sang-gyun for their narrative implementation skills [2].
The Lies of P downloadable content titled "Overture," launched last year at Summer Game Fest, has stabilized in revenue. Neowiz plans to pursue global franchise expansion and deepen fan engagement to boost income further [2]. To support creative output, Neowiz is hiring an "AI Creator" to integrate AI tools like Stable Diffusion and Midjourney into game art production [1].
Neowiz confirmed the sequel's vertical slice is a key milestone enabling full production and reflects the company’s broader strategy to build a lasting franchise around the Lies of P intellectual property [1, 2].
