After Lies of P, developer Neowiz looks toward Wonders of O for its next dark fairy tale
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Newly discovered trademark filings from publisher Neowiz point to Wonders of O as the likely sequel to the hit Soulslike game Lies of P, expanding their dark fairy tale universe into the Land of Oz.
Fresh trademark filings spotted at the European Union Intellectual Property Office suggest that publisher Neowiz is already mapping out the next chapter following the breakout success of Lies of P. Registered under the title Wonders of O, the new filing includes all the standard software and multimedia tags that point directly toward interactive gaming hardware and digital storefront distribution. Given how the first game reinterpreted the Pinocchio legend through a grim Soulslike lens, the obvious alphabetical and thematic leap toward L. Frank Baum and the Land of Oz fits the studio's newfound appetite for dark literary adaptations.
Keen-eyed players already have good reason to suspect an Oz crossover, especially considering the heavy-handed tease tucked into the post-credits scene of the original game featuring none other than Dorothy. Recent documentary insights from developer Round8 have confirmed that a sequel is actively in production with an even greater focus on emotional depth and narrative ambition. While we wait for an official reveal, likely during one of the major upcoming showcase events, the studio's internal Nough team promises that the follow-up will deliver the same tight mechanics wrapped in a fresh, twisted folklore setting.
For players who spent hours mastering weapon assemblies and tackling the brutal boss fights of Krat, this next project signals an exciting expansion of the studio's dark fairy tale universe. As digital economies, post-launch expansions, and narrative-driven single-player experiences continue to dominate community watchlists, a high-profile follow-up to one of recent years' best surprise hits is exactly what fans are looking for. We will keep an eye on how Neowiz transitions from clockwork puppets to emerald cities as more details emerge.
