Is Project Rabbit Related to Lies of P? Facts Only

Project Rabbit is not a Lies of P sequel, and NovaFlare says the two games have almost no official connection. What is documented: some Project Rabbit developers previously worked at Round8 Studio (the team behind Lies of P), and both projects are dark fairy-tale soulslikes—so players naturally compare them. This page is a fact-check hub; Fextralife and others already publish longer opinion pieces.

This wiki is a fan site and does not represent NEOWIZ, Round8, NCSoft, or NovaFlare.

Direct answer: relationship status

In Inven Global’s 22 May 2026 PlayX4 interview, reporter Hongman Yoon asked whether Project Rabbit links to NEOWIZ’s Lies of P given Round8 alumni on the team.

NovaFlare replied (as published by Inven) that people make the connection because some team members are from Round8 Studio, but that “in reality, ‘Project Rabbit’ and ‘Lies of P’ have almost no connection.” It added that comparing two dark fantasy soulslikes based on fairy tales is natural.

No press source we verified calls Project Rabbit a continuation of Lies of P’s story, brand, or publisher line.

What is confirmed (with sources)

What this page deliberately does not compare

Without a public build, we will not contrast combat systems, difficulty curves, parry timing, or boss design between the two games. That would be guesswork.

If you need Lies of P mechanics, use that game’s official resources. Here we only cover documented relationships around Project Rabbit.

Why comparisons still happen (without implying partnership)

Press summaries (e.g. Fextralife, 11 Nov 2026) note ex-Round8 talent and similar dark fantasy fairy-tale positioning. Steam and trailers for Project Rabbit lean on Alice, eastern-influenced boss imagery, and Blood Queen framing.

In Inven, NovaFlare said it picked Alice in Wonderland partly to stand out as a new studio, exploring a strange classic through a soulslike lens. That is a creative positioning statement, not evidence of shared IP with NEOWIZ.

Differentiators NovaFlare itself highlights

From the same Inven interview (developer statements about Project Rabbit only):

• Session-based enter → farm → quest → extract structure (see extraction guide)
• Planned short update cadence — intent to add bosses or content every two to three months (stated as a goal, not a contract with players)
• Optional high-risk dungeons vs most dungeons without full gear loss on death

These are Project Rabbit plans; they are not claims about what Lies of P does or should do.

Release and platform context (both unreleased vs shipped)

Lies of P is a released NEOWIZ/Round8 title. Project Rabbit is Coming soon on Steam with no date as of 2026-11-12. NovaFlare’s end-of-2027 Early Access aim is an internal target reported in May 2026, echoed as a hopeful date in Fextralife—not a Steam pre-order schedule.
