According to the game industry on the 29th, Round 8 will release the 'P's Lie' DLC (downloadable content) in the first quarter of next year.

Round 8 proved the potential of Korean package game development by presenting a competitive work to gamers around the world in a situation that was considered a 'barren land for console games' last year through 'P's Lie'.

It left a strong impression on the global stage with its high-level game play. According to industry estimates, it sold about 2 million copies and achieved significant results by entering Microsoft’s Game Pass. It also surpassed 7 million cumulative users in just 5 months after its release.

To develop its next work, Round 8 is hiring talents such as level designers and scenario planners.

According to the announcement, Round 8 introduced its next work as a 'survival horror project set in a SF world' and stated that it will utilize Unreal Engine 5, targeting PC and console platforms.

'SF survival horror' is a genre that has a solid fan base in the global game market. 'Dead Space' by Electronic Arts of the United States is a representative example, and domestic game company Krafton also challenged this genre with 'Callisto Protocol' in 2022.

A Neowiz official said, “It is still too early to disclose the progress of the project,” and “It is one of the PC and console games that Round 8 Studio is preparing.
