Sleeping Dogs, the new name for True Crime: Hong Kong, was first uncovered via a trademark. Now we have a new mystery to solve – what is Rebellion Overdrive?
We’ve seen Agent 47 use a sniper rifle in previous games, but judging by the title this sounds something like Silent Scope set in the Hitman universe.
Namco Bandai filed a trademark for New World Cruise in Japan and that ties in nicely with the New World story arc and One Piece: Unlimited Cruise video game series.
It seems like Capcom is creating a new series of “with everyone” games for Japan. The publisher filed trademarks for “with everyone” and three potential titles.
A trademark hints at an oversease release for Namco Bandai’s PS3 One Piece game.
Could Hitman: Profession be the Hitman title Square Enix Montréal is working on?
Since Square Enix already reserved the rights for The World Ends With You in the West back in 2007 and Subarashiki Kono Sekai in 2006, we’re curious why Square Enix Japan filed this trademark two months ago.
We ask this question because the publisher filed two trademarks in Japan with “underworld” in them. The first, roughly translated, is Door of the Underworld and the Path of Nayuta and the other is Root of the Underworld.
The publisher filed a trademark Guardian Cross in Europe and snapped up the domain name: guardiancross.net.
Namco Bandai makers of Splatterhouse and Tales of Graces f may have a game featuring… aliens. The publisher filed a trademark for Alien Confidential in North America and Europe.
A teaser site hints it’s a new kind of adventure drama and Siliconera found another clue… the game may be based on Mito Komon.
Another game is an original strategy RPG under the code name “Ark Project.” “Mars Project” is a RPG tied to a famous JRPG creator and “Remus Project” takes a famous series and turns it into a JRPG. Hmm… could that last game be Another Princess?
Capcom may have a game called E.X. Troopers in the pipeline. We spotted a trademark for a potential title filed by Capcom Japan in the US and Europe.
Square Enix is getting more secretive when it comes to trademarks. Instead of registering terms for potential titles, the publisher is now filing logos.
