Neowiz filed a trademark in Europe on September 10, 2026, for a sequel to Lies of P titled 'Wonders of O'. This filing confirms fan theories linking the sequel to The Wizard of Oz, referencing the original game's post-credits scene featuring Dorothy. Players who invested in the first game now have concrete confirmation that a follow-up is in active development.
Studio rebrand to Nough and human art pledge accompany sequel news
The development studio Round8 has been renamed to Nough, signaling a structural shift as the team moves forward. Director Choi Ji-won confirmed the team is prioritizing the new title and promised not to let players down. Combat director Lee Jeonghyeon stated the goal is to create the 'world's greatest action game'.
The title 'Wonders of O' appears in a submission received on September 10th for game software. This specific naming convention directly ties the narrative to the classic fairy tale, expanding on the original's dark fantasy aesthetic. The trademark filing serves as the primary public evidence of the sequel's existence and thematic direction.
Neowiz clarified that despite a job listing for an AI Creator, all artwork for the sequel will be created by human artists. This statement addresses community concerns about the influence of generative AI in the production pipeline. The publisher emphasized that the visual style will remain the product of human creativity rather than automated tools.
