Lies of P studio plans to make 'world's greatest action game'!

The creators of Lies of P have released a 16-minute documentary about the studio's culture and what it was like working on the franchise.
First among the news is that the studio will be changing its name from Round8 to Nough (likely derived from "Not Enough"), as confirmed in the video description. What was also explicitly stated is that the studio will be "upholding the development philosophy of Round8 Studio and operating under the motto 'Games by Gamers.'"
What this name change implies regarding whether it will be a complete rebranding of Round8 or merely a spin-off of the original company remains unknown. What we can assume is that the team behind Lies of P at Round8 will be the same people working on the sequel under Nough.
Although we still don't have an official reveal—or even a title—the studio has practically confirmed that their successful soulslike game is getting a sequel that is in full production, simply waiting for the right moment to be unveiled. However, the developers were straightforward about one thing: their ambitions and goals for the sequel. Combat Director Lee Jeonghyeon highlighted that his goal is to make the world's greatest action game, while Overall Director Choi Jiwon emphasized that the team wants to bring the same passion to players that the first game delivered:
"From the very start, my goal has been to create the world's greatest action game," said Combat Director Lee Jeonghyeon. "And we're getting there, one step at a time."
