Nough Studio Unveils New Identity and Teases Exciting Sequel for Lies of P

Exciting news for gamers! The studio behind the hit game Lies of P, formerly known as Round8, has officially rebranded itself as Nough. Along with this name change, they’ve dropped a mini-documentary that gives us an inside look at their culture and the development journey of the Lies of P series.

Nough, which comes from the phrase “Not Enough,” aims to uphold the creative philosophy of its predecessor while adopting the motto “Games by Gamers.” There’s some ambiguity about whether Nough is a complete rebranding or a spin-off, but what matters is that it’s the same talented team that brought us Lies of P.

While the developers remain tight-lipped about the sequel, we do know it’s actively in production. Combat director Lee Jeonghyeon expressed their ambition to create “the world’s greatest action game,” and it sounds like they’re not settling for anything less. Choi Jiwon, the overall director, emphasized their commitment to crafting a game that resonates with players, noting, “The players can always tell when a game has been made with real dedication.”

Choi reassured fans that they are pouring all their energy into making the sequel extraordinary and asked everyone to be patient while they work their magic. “We won’t let you down. I promise,” he stated, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.

The documentary also shared insights into Nough’s unique testing process. The team conducts playtests at significant milestones, showcasing their progress to the entire studio. They even have a fun “Game Day” where everyone steps away from their usual tasks to playtest the current build and provide feedback through surveys. This method has already led to improvements in Lies of P’s difficulty settings and resulted in major story changes for the upcoming Overture expansion.

While some critics had mixed feelings about Lies of P, the Overture expansion has garnered a lot of positive buzz. It seems like expectations are high for the sequel, and many in the gaming community are excited to see what Nough brings to the table next!
