Lies of P publisher files trademark for likely sequel 'Wonders of O'
Neowiz, publisher of *Lies of P*, has filed an EU trademark for *Wonders of O*, widely expected to be the sequel.
Neowiz, the publisher behind the action RPG *Lies of P*, has filed an EU trademark for *Wonders of O*, categorized as virtual reality game software. While not officially confirmed, the filing strongly suggests a sequel is in development. The name mirrors the original game’s dark reinterpretation of a classic fairy tale, with *Wonders of O* likely drawing from *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* in a similar manner.
The filing follows a post-credits scene in *Lies of P* that featured a woman in ruby slippers, hinting at the sequel’s thematic direction. The game’s developer, Nough (formerly Round8 Studio), recently released a mini documentary highlighting its work on the sequel. This suggests the marketing campaign for *Wonders of O* is beginning to take shape.
The original *Lies of P* was released in 2023 and received a 74% review from PC Gamer. The game’s Overture expansion, released late last year, was praised by critics, fueling anticipation for the sequel. The developer’s shift in branding to Nough reflects its expanded focus beyond *Lies of P*.
The trademark filing does not guarantee a release, but industry trends indicate sequels are often announced shortly after such filings. The original *Lies of P* drew inspiration from Carlo Collodi’s *Pinocchio*, while *Wonders of O* is expected to reinterpret L. Frank Baum’s *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz*. The sequel’s development aligns with the publisher’s strategy to expand its portfolio of narrative-driven action RPGs.
