NEOWIZ and Round8 Studio announced Lies of P: Complete Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 during the Nintendo Direct broadcast on June 9, 2026, with the download version set for August 6, 2026 and a physical version to follow.

The Complete Edition bundles the base game with the Overture expansion, a prequel chapter set on the final day of Krat before the Puppet Frenzy, plus costume packs. A packaged version produced with iam8bit is priced at 7,900 yen, and the package edition announced through U&I includes six exclusive lore cards. The base game and Overture together have surpassed 4 million cumulative sales worldwide, excluding subscriptions. The Switch 2 version includes performance modes and a post-launch update for smoother handheld graphics, plus the difficulty adjustment options and challenge modes added with the DLC.
The Switch 2 download version released on August 6, 2026 at 7,980 yen including tax.

NEOWIZ filed a trademark application for Wonders of O with the European Union Intellectual Property Office on September 10, 2026, under examination and covering interactive multimedia software for gameplay.
