- Neowiz’s financial report reveals record sales numbers for Lies of P, led by its DLC.
- The game continues to be a huge success for the studio, even 2 years after its release.
- The sequel is in active development and is expected in FY2026 or later down the line.
Lies of P was one of the best releases of 2023 that many people didn’t see coming. It took the Soulslike formula and gave it its own personality to great effect. So, even a couple of years later, the title continues to succeed for Neowiz.
The studio’s latest financial report reveals that Lies of P achieved record-high sales in Q2 thanks to the successful launch of its DLC. It helped increase both the revenue as well as the studio’s profit by a considerable amount.
Why it matters: Lies of P received critical acclaim from both the audience and the critics. At first, it flew under the radar of many, but later managed to hit the spot when everybody realized how good it is.
According to Neowiz’s report, Lies of P, along with the DLC, Overtrue, led to the best-selling year for the game, marking almost double the sales it recorded in its first year. This led to a 26% increase in revenue year-on-year.
Notably, a huge chunk of the revenue came through PC/consoles, which had a 54% year-on-year increase. Neowiz was mostly known for publishing mobile games before Lies of P, but now PC and consoles have become their primary source.
More than 50% of Lies of P sales were domestic, whereas 46% were overseas. This is a decent number, meaning that sales outside of South Korea were also fine. Nonetheless, this is all great news for the studio.
They have also revealed that the already announced Lies of P sequel is still in active development. It will release in FY2026 or beyond, suggesting that the earliest we can expect it to release is by 2027.
