Neowiz, the publisher behind the breakout Soulslike Lies of P, has officially filed a trademark for “Wonders of O.” This filing, submitted to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on September 10, 2026, appears to be the first concrete branding for the follow-up project teased in the original game’s conclusion.

The naming convention for “Wonders of O” mirrors the specific syntax of Lies of P, where the single letter represented the protagonist or central thematic figure. Following the first game’s post-credits scene—which featured a character named Dorothy clicking ruby slippers in the city of Krat—the “O” is widely interpreted by the community as a reference to the Land of Oz. While Neowiz has not officially confirmed this as the final title for the next entry, the timing and structure of the filing strongly suggest a direct connection to the studio’s expanding “fairytale-dark” universe.

Technical Details and VR Implications

The trademark application, registered under number 019420678, covers several goods and services categories, most notably Classes 9 and 41. These classes are standard for video game software, but the inclusion of “virtual reality game software” in the documentation has sparked discussion regarding the project’s scope. While the original Lies of P was a traditional third-person action game, the new filing suggests that the developer may be exploring VR support or a dedicated spinoff alongside the primary sequel.

This trademark application follows the 2025 release of the Lies of P: Overture DLC, which served as a narrative bridge. Neowiz first confirmed that a sequel was in early development in late 2023, following the critical and commercial success of the first game, which reimagined the story of Pinocchio as a gothic mechanical odyssey.

Studio Rebranding and Production Status

The development team responsible for the series is also undergoing a structural transition. Round8 Studio, the internal team at Neowiz, has recently rebranded as “Nough,” a move that coincided with a documentary detailing their transition into full-scale production for the sequel. This rebranding signals a new phase for the studio as it moves away from its legacy mobile and MMO roots to focus on high-fidelity, single-player experiences.

Despite the “Wonders of O” filing, Neowiz has maintained a level of secrecy regarding specific gameplay mechanics or a release window. For now, the trademark remains the most definitive evidence of how Neowiz intends to market its dark reimagining of the Oz mythos.
