Eldit has been developing a sequel to OWOP since 201?, with the community joking for years about how long the project is taking to come out. Ultimately, Eldit ended up resigning before OWOP2 was completed. Though the project has presumably changed hands, and as of December 2025 Eldit believes that it is "''not too far off from the finish line.''" | |||
OWOP2 is coded using C++, and will bring new features such as [tbd]. | |||
