AI Summary
Director Lee Sang-kyun is leading a new soul-like project at Team Foucault. The game will be built on Unreal Engine with a focus on core mechanics and optimisation. Following the success of Lies of P, the studio aims for high-quality stability.

Since joining Neowiz, Director Lee Sang-kyun of Round 8 Studio’s ‘Team Foucault’ has garnered significant attention, and information regarding his new project is finally beginning to emerge.
This news was confirmed through Neowiz's recent recruitment notices. According to the listings, the new title being developed by Team Foucault at Round 8 Studio is a 'soulslike' action game. The project aims to provide intense action, a narrative that offers intellectual stimulation, and an aesthetically meaningful artistic experience.
Based on the current job postings, the game appears to feature a serious action style with creature concepts, and it is being developed using Unreal Engine. Furthermore, according to a post on Director Lee's personal social media, while the project may not be technically radical, it is described as a game focused on solid fundamentals and optimization. Consequently, it is expected to aim for high stability and polish, much like 'Lies of P', which received immense acclaim for its optimization at launch.
Meanwhile, the name 'Foucault' of Team Foucault is well-known as a reference to Michel Foucault, a representative philosopher of postmodernism.

네오위즈 라운드8 스튜디오 이적 후 높은 관심을 받고 있는 네오위즈 이상균 라운드8 스튜디오 ‘팀 푸코’ 디렉터의 신작에 대한 정보가 점차 드러나기 시작했다.
이번 소식은 네오위즈의 인재영입 공고를 통해 확인됐다. 해당 공고들에 따르면 네오위즈 라운드8 스튜디오 내 ‘팀 푸코’가 개발 중인 신작은 ‘소울라이크’ 액션 게임이다. 강렬한 액션과 지적 즐거움을 담은 내러티브, 미학적으로 의미가 있는 미술 경험을 제공하는 것을 목표로 개발 중에 있다.
현재 게재 중인 영입 공고에 따르면 진지한 액션 게임 스타일의 크리처 콘셉트를 선보일 것으로 보이며, 언리얼 엔진을 통해 개발된다. 더불어 이상균 디렉터의 개인 SNS에 게재된 글에 따르면 해당 프로젝트는 기술적으로 도전적이지는 않으나, 기본기와 최적화에 충실한 게임으로 설명된다. 이에 따라 출시 직후 최적화로 엄청난 호평을 받은 P의 거짓과 같이, 안정성과 완성도 높은 게임을 지향할 것으로 전망된다.
한편, 팀 푸코의 ‘푸코’는 포스트모더니즘의 대표 철학자인 미셸 푸코로 잘 알려진 이름이다.
