The name of the Lies of P sequel Round8 Studio has in the works may have made its way online from a trademark filing made by publisher Neowiz.
For those who have finished the excellent Souls-like title, what the follow-up might be about has already been teased in an ending cutscene, so the name of the sequel is somewhat of a spoiler.
The trademark filing is for the name "Wonders of O" (thanks, ThePhraseMaker.com).
This would suggest Round8 Studio is indeed theming the next game around The Wizard of Oz, as teased at the end of Lies of P. In the cutscene, Dorothy's iconic red shoes are seen, presumably worn by the girl herself, as she looks out over Krat. View it below:
As of May 2026, it was stated Round8 Studio is in the "full development phase" on the sequel, so it's likely still a few years away. Still, with this new piece of information, it really does seem like we're getting that The Wizard of Oz game.
It'll follow up on one of the best Dark Souls titles not made by FromSoftware, which was expanded afterwards with the Overture DLC. "Lies of P feels like the result of a developer having already taken multiple stabs at the Souls-like genre, so it's impressive that Round8 Studio has accomplished so much on its first attempt," we said about the base game. "By fully embracing its dark take on the Pinocchio story, it sets itself apart from anything else available."

I liked the game, really liked it actually but I felt the whole "based on Pinocchio premise" was too surface level with too many elements that had nothing to do with the source material.
So I hope this one is more closer to Wizard of Oz.
I'm really excited, Lies of P is a fantastic game.
Thanks for ruining the after credits scene of LOP for those who haven't played it yet. No spoiler alert and a giant video spoiler in the middle of the ad. Don't even have to play the video to see the spoiler.
I stopped at the King of puppets boss. His second phase wasn't fun at all. I've never beaten him. After that I never tried again as my reflexes are evidently not good enough for it. I'm also slowly reaching such a point with onimusha though not to this extent. (I'm dealing with the fire oni boss in the mountains. His second phase sucks as they don't replenish your healing items and you basically have to beat him flawlessly. It also sucks that you can't target the floating head). Looks like I'm losing my edge.
have yet to play it, what makes this game the best soul not made by from?
"They call me Jeppetto because I make the girls my puppets"
I always found that line extremely funny!
@lazymike nioh. remnant from the ashes. Black myth wukong and lies of p are the best souls like non from software games. Word up son
@GilaMonster "It's 3 years old & I haven't beaten it. That's on me and IDGAF." Cool story. I was talking about myself and other people who do or might care. Reading comprehension is apparently 'on you' as well. Also, "I haven’t beaten it, so it’s on me if I get spoiled" is certainly one way to admit you have no idea what a spoiler warning is for & the "IDGAF" part really adds to the intellectual depth of your argument.😂
Im all in on this… LoP is probably the best non-from Souls experience I’ve had.
I was popping over the end credits also, love the direction they are taking this sequel in
Good luck to Neowitz
@Almost_Ghostly Prefacing this by saying that I don't have an answer or strong opinion on it, but what do you think is the appropriate amount of time that spoilers should be considered when talking about a story in a public place?
It reminds me of the question: is it archeology or grave robbing? 😂
@Almost_Ghostly I haven't played it yet, I didn't press play just admire the outfit in the thumbnail (for the video) it's a game that's been frequently recommended to me. Other than a Pinocchio story/aesthetic, I know nothing about it.
@wildcat_kickz I hope you are keeping well, I either missed or didn't see you over the weekend.
Really excited for this. I love Lies of P
@Simu001
Were you aware that they have added in an easier difficulty option? (Lies of P)
@GirlVersusGame Doing well! I haven't been posting here as much, life's been a bit busier than usual. Hope you're well also!
Regarding Lies of P, I'll add my name to the list of those recommending it to you (if you like soulslike games).
Walt Disney is the final boss

@wildcat_kickz I'm sick as a doggo for the last week or so but like the Crow 'it can't rain all of the time'. I think a lot of people are back to school and work, it's been a little quiet around these parts. I'm eventually going to try that game. The funny thing is I love Fromsoft but I don't think I've played a single Souls-Like. I couldn't tell you why.
@Mr-Cage Are you feeling any better after your weekend of fever and Hades?
I liked lies of P but I don't agree it's the best souls game not made by from. Not even close to Nioh.
I’m gonna lose my ***** when this game comes out
Absolutely love LOP
Ruby slippers for Dorothy are a choice. They're from the film, so they're not public domain like the book.
Very much looking forward to playing the sequel. This first game was exquisite...
@Bluemoon2008
Someome had to say it. 👏🏻
Please be true!!! I can only imagine how amazing that game would be!! Wizard of Oz is ripe for soulslike interpretation!!
Probably my most anticipated game. Lies of p was incredible. I hope we dont have to wait till 2029
@wildcat_kickz I must issue a stand down!
@GirlVersusGame always a great day when you get to quote Eric.
On of the few soul like games that I finished. Mostly because it has a difficulty setting. It was a great and memorable game, loved it.
@Rich33 I doubt it makes a difference unless it slows the boss down to a crawl. I find the phase itself not fun to fight against. So I doubt an easier difficulty would solve that.
There's no place like home.
@Almost_Ghostly I reckon you'd be all right. It was kind of tacked on at the end of the credits and has no relevance to the plot of the game itself. When I saw it I was like "okay that's a bit random"
@Almost_Ghostly opens an article regarding sequel to a game he hasn't completed, then complains about spoilers.
@mikeawmids The article title was about the name of the next game, that won't be out for a long time. I wasn't expecting a giant video thumbnail of the surprise post credit scene from the first game. I've read tons of articles on sequels that either didn't have spoilers, or contained spoiler warnings. TONS. But continue on with the "It doesn't matter to me, so you should feel the same." mentality.
