As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the dark and twisted corridors of Soulslikes, I can confidently say that the prospect of a Lies of P sequel taking the open-world route is both exhilarating and daunting. The original game, with its linear yet intricately designed city of Krat, offered an immersive experience that felt like stepping into a living, breathing nightmare. However, the tantalizing teaser at the end hinting at Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz suggests a vast and vibrant landscape ripe for exploration – the Land of Oz.

Key Takeaways
- Neowiz’s next game, possibly a Lies of P sequel, could be open world, according to a job listing.
- Fans eagerly await news about Lies of P’s confirmed story DLC and potential sequel.
- Neowiz’s possible venture into an open world Land of Oz setting for Lies of P’s sequel could be a monumental task to undertake.
Based on a recent job listing at Neowiz, there’s strong speculation that their upcoming game could be a sequel to the critically acclaimed “Lies of P” and potentially feature an open-world setting. This highly anticipated title, which stood out as one of the top Soulslikes in 2022 and is expected to be among the best games of 2023, left fans of the Souls genre awestruck with its challenging gameplay reminiscent of the parry-focused 2019 Game of the Year, “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.” The game’s dark, gothic cityscape of Krat bore a striking resemblance to “Bloodborne,” further adding to its appeal.
As a passionate fan eagerly anticipating updates from Neowiz, I can’t help but feel a pang of excitement upon seeing the official artwork for the Lies of P‘s story DLC they’ve recently unveiled. However, with the vague “late 2024” release window we initially heard about seemingly becoming less concrete by the day, I find myself, along with fellow fans, eagerly awaiting any fresh tidbits of information.
It appears that Neowiz has hinted at their upcoming project, which could potentially be a sequel to Lies of P. An employment listing for a Field Level Designer suggests this new game might feature elements of open-world design. This is intriguing because Lies of P is primarily a linear game set in the city of Krat, and while it does have secret areas, it doesn’t resemble an open world. The job posting indicates that candidates should have experience with RPGs, Unreal Engine, and open-world games, which seems unusual given the original game’s structure.
Lies of P Sequel Could Feature Open World
In a different scenario, it wouldn’t be logical for the sequel to Lies of P to continue in the city of Krat, given its conclusion. But with Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz appearing post-credits in Lies of P, the Land of Oz could provide an ideal open world setting, filled with diverse forests, villages, the Emerald City, and the famous Yellow Brick Road. Given that FromSoftware has successfully created an open-world Souls experience with Elden Ring, if Neowiz were to adopt a similar approach, they would face substantial challenges, as Lies of P is being highly praised as the best non-FromSoftware Souls game.
Next month will mark one year since the release of Lies of P and fans are still clamoring for its DLC. While it doesn’t seem like it’ll hit by the end of this year, reports from earlier in the summer seem to suggest Neowiz is aiming for Q1 2025. Perhaps fans may be able to expect news either at Tokyo Game Show next month, or at The Game Awards in December. As for Lies of P‘s sequel, it’ll likely be a few more years before Neowiz has more to officially reveal.
