PLEASE NOTE: This article contains several spoilers for the Lies of P experience.Creating a new IP in the gaming industry is incredibly hard. There's so much competition in an industry often propelled by sequels like Spider-Man 2, established popular IP such as Like a Dragon, and remakes like Resident Evil 4. Combine this with extremely high development costs, stiff competition at every turn, and the need to get players' attention, and it's a wonder that new video games and IP ever get made. But sometimes it all starts with an idea, and developer Round8 and publisher Neowiz recently hit on a huge idea: a soulslike game based on dark, corrupted fairy tales. Lies of P launched in September of this year, and it has proven to be a success.
