Developer Neowiz may have revealed the title of its upcoming sequel to the critically acclaimed Soulslike Lies of P. A trademark filed with the EU Intellectual Property Office, discovered by fans, points to the game being named "Wonders of O." This aligns with previous hints and the post-credits scene of the original game, which strongly suggested a connection to L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz.
The original game, "Lies of P," cleverly referenced Pinocchio. The "P" in the newly trademarked title is expected to stand for characters and elements from the Oz series, with "O" likely representing Oz itself. Fans have speculated for some time about a potential Soulslike adaptation of the classic fantasy series, with many hoping to see characters like Dorothy, the Wicked Witch of the West, and the flying monkeys feature as adversaries or allies.
Discussions on platforms like Reddit have explored how elements from The Wizard of Oz could be integrated into the Soulslike genre, with some theorizing a connection between the mysterious figure Paracelsus from Lies of P and the Wizard of Oz himself. The original game, which received an 8/10 from IGN, has already seen a successful expansion, "Overture," which also earned an 8/10. The sequel is reportedly in full production, further fueling anticipation for its potential Oz-themed direction.
