Lies of P Sequel Job Listing Reveals Unreal Engine 5 Details

A new job listing from Neowiz has revealed additional details about the upcoming Lies of P sequel, including its visual ambitions and the unusual requirements for developers joining the project.

The sequel is being developed by Round8 Studio using Unreal Engine 5, with the team aiming to deliver high-quality graphics, detailed level design, and intense action gameplay.

According to recruitment information highlighted in a recent report, the studio is seeking a character concept artist responsible for designing characters, monsters, weapons, costumes, and accessories.

The position also emphasizes familiarity with Soulslike games, suggesting that the development team wants artists who understand the genre's combat systems, atmosphere, and enemy design.

One particularly unusual requirement asks applicants to have played Lies of P for at least 30 hours and provide evidence of their playtime.

Candidates are also expected to have completed at least three Soulslike games, demonstrating their familiarity with the genre.

The recruitment details offer another indication that the sequel will continue emphasizing challenging combat and distinctive character designs.

The original Lies of P, released in 2023, reimagined the story of Pinocchio as a dark action RPG set in a world filled with mechanical enemies and disturbing creatures.

Its ending also teased elements associated with The Wizard of Oz, leading to speculation that the sequel could explore a different classic fantasy setting.

A trademark for the name Wonders of O has fueled those theories, although Neowiz has not officially confirmed it as the sequel's title.

For now, the developer has not announced a release date or revealed substantial gameplay footage for the next Lies of P game.
