In August 2022, Neowiz’s ‘The Lie of P’ became the first Korean game to win three awards at the ‘Gamescom Awards’.
At the time, ‘The Lies of P’ was selected as ‘Best Action Adventure Game’ and ‘Best Role Playing Game’, and was also selected as ‘Best Role Playing Game’ at ‘Opening Night Live’. It achieved the feat of winning three awards at the ‘Gamescom Awards’ by winning the ‘Most Wanted Sony PlayStation Game’ award.

This is not only the most wins at the ‘Gamescom Awards 2022’, but it is also meaningful in that it is the first Korean game to achieve this.
In 2021, FromSoftware’s ‘Elden Ring’ won the same awards as ‘Best Action Adventure Game’, ‘Best Role-Playing Game’, and ‘Best PS Game’, and gained worldwide popularity upon release. The box office expectations for ‘False’ are also increasing.
There is another indicator that predicts the success of ‘The Lies of P’. ‘The Lie of P’ exceeded 1 million cumulative downloads across all platforms within 3 days of its demo release in June 2023, and was selected as ‘Popular Released Products’ and ‘Most Wanted’ at the online game festival ‘Steam Next Fest’. The game was proven to be a game by taking first place in the ‘games scheduled for release’ list.
