Lies of P Receiving Major DLC in Q1 2025 as Neowiz Moves Forward with New Survival Horror Game

Good news for Lies of P fans, the game‘s next DLC will be released in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, developer Neowiz is currently working on a sci-fi survival horror game.

Very little is still known about this DLC. We have the snowy screenshot provided by the game director earlier this year, but the extent or more details about where we will go or what we will do remains a mystery. Still, with a release window of Q1 2025, we’ll surely get a more complete look in the near future!

Neowiz’s Round 8 studio maintains the momentum gained with the much-loved Lies of P, with this pseudo-roadmap for the studio coming from Korean news website EBN. As for the next game from Studio 8, a spokesperson stated that the game will be developed with Unreal Engine 5 and will be aimed at both PC and consoles.

Round 8 has stated that the game will be a “survival horror project set in a sci-fi world” and has begun hiring for this game. When asked by EBN, a spokesperson stated that “it’s still too early to reveal the progress of the project,” although they also noted that this is indeed one of the PC and console games Round 8 is working on.

The current market for sci-fi horror games is interesting. We’ve seen some great AAA releases with mixed reception. While the Dead Space remake was loved by many, it didn’t prove popular enough to warrant further exploration of the series by EA. Then there’s The Callisto Protocol, which was a bold but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to start a new IP in the AAA sci-fi horror space.

One can find more hope and merit in the independent space. While not exactly in the same vein as the games mentioned above, Mouthwashing has proven to be extremely popular (that’s right, it’s fantastic) and has garnered a large online fanbase. You could also point to games like Lethal Company from the same genre, another viral hit, although a far cry from the big AAA hits that Round 8 is likely working on.

Ultimately, the genre is ripe for more attention. And, since Round 8 has proven to be extremely talented at creating new IP, it is in a prime position to do it well. We’ll have to sit back and see what’s cooking!
