Neowiz has filed a European trademark for Wonders of O, a title that appears to line up with Lies of P’s Wizard of Oz tease, but the sequel name remains unannounced.

Neowiz’s new trademark creates a clear Oz-shaped question
Neowiz has filed a European Union Intellectual Property Office trademark for “Wonders of O,” according to the EUIPO listing cited by Push Square, ComicBook, VICE, ThePhraseMaker, and DayOne. That filing is the concrete development: a new name, tied to Neowiz, appearing in official trademark records. The unresolved part is the bigger one. Neowiz has not publicly announced Wonders of O as the title of the Lies of P sequel.
That tension is why the filing is drawing attention. Lies of P already pointed toward a follow-up inspired by The Wizard of Oz, and Wonders of O fits the same compact title pattern as Lies of P. The title also looks like it could echo L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, though no source material provided here confirms that wording as Neowiz’s intent.
The cleanest read is this: a Neowiz trademark for Wonders of O exists, and the name strongly resembles the kind of fairy-tale reframing Round8 Studio used for Lies of P. The leap from trademark to final sequel title is still a leap. Until Neowiz or Round8 announces it, Lies of P Wonders of O should be treated as a likely connection rather than a confirmed product reveal.
The filing supports a game connection, but not a full announcement
The EUIPO listing is the anchor for the current reporting. ComicBook says the Wonders of O trademark was filed in Europe on September 10, 2026. VICE says the filing covers downloadable video game software, while DayOne reports that the filing is listed under Nice Classes 9 and 41, including virtual reality game software and amusement arcade services. ThePhraseMaker says it compared Neowiz’s earlier Lies of P trademark with Wonders of O and found them “almost identical,” with both covering video game and entertainment services.
Those details make the trademark relevant to games coverage, but they do not fill in the missing design document. A trademark does not confirm platforms, release timing, protagonist, setting, combat systems, price, engine, or whether the title will be used as the final launch name. It protects a commercial mark. It can precede an announcement, sit unused, or cover a related product.
There is also a small wording wrinkle in the current coverage. Push Square, ComicBook, ThePhraseMaker, DayOne, and the Reddit post citing ThePhraseMaker refer to the mark as “Wonders of O.” VICE’s text uses “The Wonders of O” while also linking to the same EUIPO listing. Based on the broader source set provided, Wonders of O is the wording to use unless Neowiz clarifies otherwise.
The Oz tease was already waiting in Lies of P
The trademark is landing because Lies of P did not end as a sealed Pinocchio story. Multiple outlets in the provided source material point to the game’s post-credits scene as the reason fans immediately connected Wonders of O to a sequel. Push Square describes Dorothy’s iconic red shoes appearing as she looks out over Krat. VICE says the scene shows a mysterious girl wearing Dorothy’s ruby slippers and clicking her heels, while Paracelsus says he needs to find “Dorothy.” ThePhraseMaker also identifies Paracelsus on a train discussing Dorothy as a new “key” to his experiments.
That is a significant narrative breadcrumb. Lies of P built its identity by bending Carlo Collodi’s Pinocchio into a grim action RPG, then used its ending to gesture beyond Krat. A Wonders of O title would make sense beside that structure: a short, literary-coded name that suggests a familiar story has been narrowed into something sharper and stranger.
There is an unavoidable spoiler issue here. The Oz connection comes from the end of Lies of P, and several outlets note that discussing the trademark can spoil that final tease. For players still working through the base game or the Overture DLC, the safest approach is to treat any Wonders of O coverage as post-game territory.
Confirmed sequel work and the timing problem
The separate confirmed piece is that a Lies of P follow-up has been in development, though the sources here differ in how they frame that confirmation. ComicBook says Neowiz confirmed soon after Lies of P’s 2023 launch that it would work on a follow-up entry in the action series. Push Square says that, as of May 2026, Round8 Studio was in the “full development phase” on the sequel. Neither source says Neowiz has announced a release window for Wonders of O.
That matters for expectations. A trademark in September 2026 does not mean a trailer is imminent, and it does not mean the game is close to launch. ComicBook notes that Neowiz has not provided even a broad launch window. Push Square goes further in its interpretation, saying the project is likely still a few years away.
For players, the practical answer is simple: there is no confirmed release date, no confirmed platform list, and no confirmed price. Lies of P released across modern console and PC ecosystems, but the provided source material does not confirm where the sequel will land. Anyone planning around Wonders of O should wait for a publisher announcement rather than reading platform strategy out of a trademark class.
Why Oz would raise different design questions than Pinocchio
If Wonders of O is the Neowiz Lies of P sequel, the creative challenge changes. Pinocchio gave Round8 a strong spine for Lies of P: puppets, humanity, lies, transformation, and a city built around mechanical horror. Oz would bring a different set of icons. VICE points to Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Emerald City as likely figures and places fans would expect to see transformed if Neowiz follows the Wizard of Oz path.
That is interpretation, not confirmation. No source here says those characters are in the game. Still, the post-credits Dorothy tease and the Wonders of O title create a clear line of expectation. The question is whether Round8 would treat Oz as a full setting, a thematic mirror to Krat, or a broader shared universe of dark fairy-tale adaptations tied together by Paracelsus.
From an action-adventure perspective, Oz also carries set-piece pressure. The yellow brick road, a false wizard, living companions, witches, fields, and the Emerald City all invite visual spectacle. Lies of P’s reputation came from rhythm as much as scenery: deliberate enemy reads, parry timing, boss phase escalation, and level routes with a strong sense of forward pull. An Oz game would need those combat beats to survive the weight of its imagery. A famous world is only useful if it creates encounters, spaces, and stakes that feel dangerous in the player’s hands.
What the trademark does and does not tell fans to expect
The Wonders of O trademark is a strong signal, but it is still a signal. It confirms that Neowiz has moved to protect that name in Europe for categories tied to games and entertainment. It lines up with Lies of P’s post-credits Dorothy tease. It also matches the naming rhythm of Lies of P closely enough that fans and outlets are understandably treating it as the probable sequel title.
It does not confirm that Dorothy is the playable lead. ThePhraseMaker speculates that Dorothy could be equivalent to Pinocchio in the next story, while also raising the possibility that the title could point elsewhere. ComicBook says Dorothy is likely to take over as protagonist, but that remains an outlet expectation, not a publisher statement. Neowiz has also not confirmed whether Wonders of O is the sequel, a spin-off, or another related project.
The best way to read the moment is with cautious confidence. The Lies of P sequel appears to be moving forward, Round8 has reportedly been in full development, and a Neowiz trademark has placed Wonders of O at the center of the conversation. The yellow brick road may be visible from Krat now, but the official map is still missing.
