Wonders of O: Neowiz Trademarks New Title Pointing to Lies of P Sequel
Players who conquered Lies of P and watched through the final credits will never forget that climactic teaser.
A pair of iconic ruby slippers clicking three times across the rain-slicked rooftops of Krat, and that fateful name whispered by Paracelsus on the phone... "Dorothy". South Korean publisher Neowiz and developer Round8 Studio clearly have much larger ambitions than a single gothic reimagining of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio.
Over the weekend, a major discovery spotted within the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) registry sent shockwaves through the community: the official trademark filing for Wonders of O.
"When I return, I will find our other key. Dorothy."

From Pinocchio to the Wizard of Oz: A Shared Universe
The connection is unmistakable for fans of dark fantasy literature :
- Lies of P tackled the story of Pinocchio, reimagined inside a decaying Belle Époque city ravaged by puppet madness.
- Wonders of O points straight to L. Frank Baum's timeless masterwork: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
The trademark registration spans Nice Classifications 9 and 41, the legal standard explicitly covering video game software, interactive entertainment, and digital media.
What We Know About the Sequel's Production
This revelation fits perfectly into Neowiz's established roadmap. Game director Jiwon Choi previously confirmed two parallel initiatives :
- A dedicated story DLC expanding the lore, weapons, and mysteries left unresolved in the original game.
- A full-fledged sequel built on Unreal Engine 5, engineered from the ground up for modern hardware.
With Wonders of O, Round8 Studio appears to be constructing a dark cinematic fairy tale universe.
The creative possibilities of facing twisted incarnations of the brainless Scarecrow, the blood-rusted Tin Woodman, or the Cowardly Lion through the razor-sharp parry mechanics of the studio are genuinely mouthwatering.
Could a First Teaser Drop Later This Year?
Having surpassed three million players and earned widespread critical acclaim, Neowiz has established itself as one of the very few studios capable of matching FromSoftware's exacting combat standards.
The timing of this European trademark registration strongly suggests that an initial cinematic reveal could be planned for major industry showcases before year-end.
