In a notable development for the gaming industry, Neowiz, the publisher behind the acclaimed title Lies of P, has taken a significant step by filing a trademark in the European Union for a project intriguingly named “Wonders of O.” This trademark falls under various categories, including that of “virtual reality game software,” hinting at an innovative direction for the studio.
Speculations Surrounding the Sequel
While the details remain under wraps, the strong likelihood exists that “Wonders of O” is poised to be the much-anticipated sequel to Lies of P, which has already garnered a dedicated fanbase. The thematic connection to the Wizard of Oz seems almost inevitable, especially considering the unique twist Lies of P offered as a dark, soulslike rendition of the classic Pinocchio tale.
The post-credits scene of Lies of P tantalizingly featured a woman in ruby slippers, clicking her heels—a nod that suggests players might soon face off against a tragic Cowardly Lion in what promises to be an engaging boss fight. Such creative storytelling is a hallmark of Neowiz, and fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
In 2023, the reception of Lies of P was generally positive, with PCG news writer Lincoln Carpenter rating it at 74%. The excitement surrounding Neowiz’s future projects was further amplified by colleague Harvey Randall, who expressed enthusiasm for the studio’s next game, particularly following the success of Lies of P’s Overture expansion.
As the gaming community watches closely, the potential for “Wonders of O” to blend immersive virtual reality with a beloved literary classic is a thrilling prospect. Neowiz’s commitment to pushing creative boundaries continues to generate buzz, and the anticipation for what lies ahead is palpable.
