In an earnings release on Friday, Krafton also revealed that the newly acquired Swedish studio is currently working on an open-world FPS.

Neon Giant’s debut game, cyberpunk-themed action RPG The Ascent, was released for Xbox consoles and PC last July before coming to PlayStation systems this March.

Krafton’s collection of independent game development studios also includes PUBG Studios (PUBG: Battlegrounds), Striking Distance Studios (The Callisto Protocol) and Unknown Worlds (Subnautica).

The Callisto Protocol, the upcoming horror game from Dead Space creator Glen Schofield, will be released for consoles and PC on December 2.
