There's always an inherent pressure following up on an acclaimed piece of art, whether that's the Friends spinoff Joey, Homer's The Odyssey follow-up The Telegony, or the highly anticipated sequel to the 2023 action RPG Soulslike, Lies of P. Developer Nough Studio took home a handful of coveted awards in 2023 for the release and confirmed a sequel to be in development around the same time, and now three years later, the developer is feeling the heat to come up with something even better.
"Back then, attending an awards ceremony or standing on that stage felt like something that happened to other people," says narrative director Kwon Byungsoo in a new video from Nough Studio. "I used to think, 'I wish I could stand there someday.' Now I find myself thinking, 'we have to do even better next time. How much better do we need to be?'
