With Lies of P 2 in the works, it's worth seeing if the development time of the first game will indicate how long the sequel will take.

According to Neowiz, Round 8 Studio is currently working on a new survival horror game set in a sci-fi world. Little is known about the new IP, but it will arrive on both PC and consoles in the future and will be based on Unreal Engine 5. While eager fans await further news on this mysterious project, the company also revealed that the long-awaited DLC for Lies by P will be released in the first quarter of 2025. In September, director Jiwon Choi teased more about the former Lies by P expansion, releasing a haunting new song and concept art depicting the protagonist standing in a snowy landscape with a lighthouse in the distance. “For the DLC of Lies by P and follow-up, we aim to do better at what we have done well and improve in areas where we have room to grow,” Choi said. “It might sound simple, but I think sticking to the basics is far from easy. Luckily, I have amazing colleagues in whom I can place my full trust.”
