Lies of P has proven to be a great success in the video game industry, prompting a strategic shift at Neowiz. The company is now focusing more on developing high-quality titles for PC and consoles, rather than continuing its previous main focus on mobile games. According to Sean Kim, co-CEO of Neowiz, the success of Lies of P represents a fundamental milestone that has reconfigured the company’s direction towards deeper and more meaningful gaming experiences.
They want to take time to create better experiences
The acclaimed adaptation of the story of Pinocchio has generated a wave of interest in solo and narrative games, accompanied by other titles like Baldur’s Gate 3. Kim points out that, despite the rise of live service games, the demand for solo experiences remains strong and relevant in the gaming community. This is largely due to the ability of these games to tell unique stories that resonate with users.
The company is currently developing a sequel to Lies of P, aiming to meet fan expectations and solidify the franchise as a central pillar of its offering. Kim emphasizes that the effort is focused on ensuring high-quality work that allows the sequel to resonate with those who enjoyed the first game. Although the future of the franchise is not completely defined, there are high expectations regarding the direction it will take.
Neowiz is also in the process of collaborating with developers from around the world and is committed to investing in creative talent. The company’s long-term vision includes a broader roadmap in the PC and console market, fostering more sustainable and efficient development in AAA projects while maintaining a commitment to the gaming community.
