In a new interview with Game Informer, Neowiz co-CEO Sean Kim revealed how the publisher behind the breakout hit Lies of P is integrating AI into its daily operations. Describing Neowiz as a "forward-thinking technology company," Kim emphasized that the primary goal of these tools is to enhance productivity and deepen the connection between developers and their fanbase.
As we enter 2026, the discussion around AI in gaming has shifted from "if" to "how," and Neowiz appears to be leading the charge in the South Korean market.
Efficiency Over Replacement
Kim was quick to clarify that Neowiz is not looking to replace creative talent. Instead, the focus is on automating the "routine operational tasks" that often bog down development and publishing cycles. This includes:
Data Processing: Analyzing massive volumes of player data to make better strategic decisions.
Test Case Automation: Speeding up the QA (Quality Assurance) process by using AI to handle repetitive bug-testing scenarios.
R&D Focus: Freeing up human teams to focus on "refining core strategies" and high-value creative work.
"By processing data faster, our teams will arrive at better, more informed strategic decisions on how best to support our developers and engage with our community," Kim explained.
A Growing Trend in Korea
According to Kim, Neowiz is far from alone. He noted that South Korea is currently one of the most active regions in the world for ChatGPT usage. "It’s hard to find a game company here today that isn’t using AI in some way," he added, citing that most are utilizing at least ChatGPT or Gemini to streamline internal publishing workflows.
Looking Ahead: Lies of P Sequel and Beyond
The timing of this technological push is no coincidence. Neowiz recently confirmed that it has four major projects in development alongside the highly anticipated Lies of P sequel, which is currently slated for a 2026 release. These projects include:
A sci-fi survival horror game.
A life simulation title.
A narrative-driven RPG directed by Seungho Jin.
A new Soulslike project led by veteran Kay Lee.
By utilizing AI to handle the "heavy lifting" of data and logistics, Neowiz hopes to maintain the high level of polish seen in the Overture expansion while managing a significantly larger portfolio of games.
