På trods af at nogle spil inden for den såkaldte Soulslike-genre er meget gode, føles det ofte som om, at denne relativt nye genre kun eksisterer som alternativer til de egentlige spil fra FromSoftware som har defineret subgenren. Det kan man ikke sige gælder for Lies of P, men alligevel ønsker studiet at eksperimentere, og træde ud af FromSoftwares skygge.
Lies of P-instruktøren Choi Ji-won ønsker at komme væk fra det i fremtiden. Da han talte med Eurogamer på GDC for nylig, sagde han, at han ønsker, at fans skal sætte pris på, hvad Round 8 Studio har opnået med Lies of P som et uafhængigt produkt.
"In the future, instead of pegging us into a certain genre, we want the fans to look at us and actually know what sort of unique components that we deliver that they look forward to. So they see our next work as a sort of projection of our trust and characters that we are building moving forward. Instead of trying to predict how the Soulslike genre is going to be in the future, what we are focusing on is to really find our own colour and the points of attraction. And by crafting our own game to better meet and satisfy the customers' demand, we believe that we will build trust and credibility with our fans."
