Neon Giant is a small studio of about 20 developers working on the open-world title NO LAW for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, while continuing to support The Ascent, which has surpassed 12 million players and is slated for a November 2026 update.
Neon Giant, a studio of roughly 20 developers, presented its development technology for the upcoming title NO LAW at Unreal Fest Chicago 2026. The session detailed the high-density open-world city Port Desire, built with Unreal Engine 5, and a system where the environment affects gameplay. The studio's philosophy, called 'Density Over Scale,' focuses on building a dense, interactive open world rather than a large empty map. NO LAW is in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
In parallel, the studio continues to support its 2021 release The Ascent. KRAFTON and Neon Giant announced that the game has surpassed 12 million total players in the five years since its release. A large quality improvement update is planned for November 2026 across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via Steam, alongside a roadmap for the franchise. The November update is described as the first step in KRAFTON's plan to develop The Ascent into a franchise IP, with Neon Giant focused on improving the game itself first.
