NEOWIZ is restructuring around its global game portfolio, with a new representative director and a new Global Business Group, while releasing Lies of P: Complete Edition on Switch 2 and managing store-policy-driven changes to Brown Dust 2's title screen.
NEOWIZ has been reshaping its management and business structure in 2026. In June, the company internally decided to appoint Park Seong-jun, head of the new development group, as its new representative director, effective after formal approval in August. Park is the first representative director in NEOWIZ history to come from a developer background, having led development on Lies of P and its DLC, Lies of P: Overture. He will serve alongside current representative director Bae Tae-geun, while Kim Seung-cheol remains as an inside director.
In July, NEOWIZ appointed Chris Chung, former CPO of Wargaming, as head of its new Global Business Group, and restructured into three business units: New Game Development Group, Global Business Group, and Live Game Business Group. The restructuring aims to strengthen global publishing and IP portfolio after the success of Lies of P.
The company's flagship title continues to expand. On August 6, 2026, NEOWIZ released the download version of Lies of P: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, bundling the base game with the Overture DLC. The Switch 2 version includes performance optimizations, a post-launch update for smoother handheld graphics, and difficulty adjustment options. A packaged version, produced with iam8bit, is scheduled for October 2, 2026. The base game and Overture together have surpassed 4 million cumulative sales worldwide, excluding subscriptions.
Separately, NEOWIZ has been managing store policy compliance for Brown Dust 2. In July, the title screen was reverted to the White Reaper design after Google's review standards flagged the 3rd anniversary artwork featuring Holy Justia. The change was distributed on Google Play and will come to iOS during the next maintenance, following an earlier iOS adjustment on July 2 due to App Store policies.
