Sega has seemingly renewed its trademark for Skies of Arcadia, a traditional Dreamcast RPG, although that does not essentially imply it is making a comeback.
As noticed by Sega Informant over on Twitter, trademark monitoring web site Chizai Watch has indicated that Sega has not too long ago renewed its trademark for each Skies of Arcadia and Everlasting Arcadia, the latter being the identify utilized in Japan. Pages for each titles seem to point out that the trademark renewal went by final week, January 24, and follows not lengthy after it was noticed that the emblems for Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco had additionally been renewed. Now, in case you’re a fan of both of those video games, I would be fairly understanding in case you began to get enthusiastic about this, however it’s price noting {that a} trademark renewal would not all the time imply a lot.
There’s been loads of older titles which have had their emblems renewed by their respective house owners merely to retain the trademark – Sega clearly would not need another firm choosing up the trademark for Skies of Arcadia simply because it did not plan on making a brand new one and even releasing a remaster, as a result of there’s all the time the prospect that someplace down the street it might wish to do both of these issues. So, proper now it is sort of a Schrodinger’s Skies of Arcadia proper now; possibly there’s one thing within the works, possibly not!
Sega is engaged on bringing again a whole lot of its older titles in the intervening time, together with iconic titles like Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, Loopy Taxi, and extra in addition to these. To not point out there’s that new Virtua Fighter within the works, so something is feasible.
Skies of Arcadia was an extremely nicely obtained title upon its launch in 2000, and even obtained a GameCube port in 2002, however a sequel by no means materialised regardless of the sturdy opinions. Maybe now could be the time, Sega? Trace trace?
