Recent Neowiz Job Listing Could Allude To An Open World Lies of P Sequel

Lies of P was undeniably one of the standout releases of 2023. Although the game is barely a year old, many players are eager to know what lies ahead for our puppet protagonist, Pinocchio, and the franchise as a whole. Fortunately, we didn't have to wait long for confirmation from the developers that Lies of P would be receiving both a DLC and a sequel, with the DLC slated for late 2024 according to their financial reports.

While this news was exciting for the DLC at least, details about the sequel were left unclear. However, a recent job listing from Neowiz may offer some clues about what the Lies of P sequel could involve, hinting that an open-world experience might be in the works.

A Neowiz Job Listing Suggests The Lies of P Sequel Could Be Open-World

While the DLC for Lies of P and its story content remains a mystery, many fans believe that the post-credits scene in Lies of P hints at what we can expect in the sequel. For those who haven't seen it, the scene features a character named Paracelsus speaking on the phone, mentioning that another "Key" has been found, and referring to her as Dorothy.

This is a clear reference to The Wizard of Oz, solidified when we see a girl in ruby slippers clicking her heels three times. Based on this, it's speculated that the Lies of P sequel—potentially titled "Lies of D" or "Land of Oz"—will be set in the world of The Wizard of Oz, with Dorothy as the main protagonist.

But what kind of game will this be? This is where the recent job listing from Neowiz comes into play. The company is currently hiring for a Field Level Designer, among other roles, and the details of this position strongly suggest that the next title will be open-world. The listing specifically mentions "Extensive experience playing open-world games" as a "preferred qualification," and emphasizes "open-world experience" as a "key point."

Of course, this is still speculative regarding what kind of game the sequel will be, but with the massive success of Elden Ring—the benchmark for what an open-world Soulslike can achieve—it would be thrilling to see Dorothy following the Yellow Brick Road in the Land of Oz, taking on wicked witches, flying monkeys and other powerful enemies.

However, the developers plan to release the DLC before fully diving into the sequel, so news about Dorothy's possible adventures is still sparse. Rest assured, we'll keep you updated on the latest developments for the Lies of P DLC and sequel as more information becomes available.
