Lies of P director Choi Ji-won says the team is “working really hard” on Neowiz’s next game, promising: “I will not disappoint you all.”
Talking to GamesRadar+ after winning a Golden Joystick award for best expansion — “I’m so happy that I’m lost for words right now” — the director explained how the team approached Lies of P’s DLC Overture, saying, “we didn’t just view it as just pure expansion, but almost as a sequel and a brand new project.”
And now, looking ahead to the studio’s next project, Ji-won says “you can expect the most fun that we can achieve within the game.”
“Please stay tuned for it; we are working really hard, and I will not disappoint you at all,” the director added.
Lies of P developer Neowiz shadow-dropped DLC Overture during Summer Game Fest, introducing new locations, new enemies and bosses, new characters, weapons, and the controversial decision to add in two easier difficulty options. At that time, we also learned that Lies of P had topped 3 million copies sold.
We had a good time with Lies of P, awarding it 8/10, and Overture itself also secured a 8/10. “Even if it’s clearly dancing on the same old strings, Lies of P: Overture is an excellent expansion that adds a whole lot more to a game that was already great,” we wrote, although since then, the DLC has been patched to reduce monster difficulty in repeat playthroughs and “adjusted stats” for some of the field monsters you encounter in your first playthrough of Overture.
While Choi Ji-won failed to specify which game he’s talking about here, it seems likely that it is the Lies of P sequel he already confirmed was in the works in November 2023. At the time, Choi said: “Our highest priority is developing the DLC and working on our sequel. The dev team is putting in significant effort, brainstorming and exploring different aspects of the projects.”
