Since its 2019 debut, 'Lies of P' captured global audiences with its unique narrative and grim visual style. Fans have long speculated about a sequel, a speculation Neowiz has now begun to substantiate.

Recently, the European Union Intellectual Property Office listed a new trademark: 'Wonders of O', registered by Neowiz. The trademark, described as "interactive multimedia software for playing games", suggests a bold, darker reinterpretation of Baum’s beloved story.

With the 1956 public domain status of the original work, Neowiz enjoys full creative freedom. From flying monkeys to the Tin Man, the Wicked Witch of the East, and the manipulative Wizard himself, the rich cast offers ample material for a souls‑like experience.

Following the 2023 launch, Neowiz expanded the 'Lies of P' universe with the 2025 'Overture' expansion, a prequel that explores the events leading to the Puppet Frenzy massacre and the collapse of the city of Krat. The game also reached Switch 2 earlier this year.

In January, Neowiz announced its exploration of AI and other technology‑based solutions to "automate routine operational tasks" during game development, a practice common in South Korea and increasingly debated in the West.

Co‑CEO Sean Kim stated, "By processing data faster, our teams will arrive at better, more informed strategic decisions on how best to support our developers and engage with our community."

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that Neowiz’s registration of 'Wonders of O' is not just a creative gamble but a strategic business move that could set a new precedent for reimagining classic narratives within the gaming industry.

"Neowiz's strategic use of AI could redefine how narrative-driven games are crafted," says industry analyst Priyanka Sharma.
