Summary

  • SEGA files new trademark for Skies of Arcadia, hinting at a potential return.
  • It’s not a confirmation of a sequel, but SEGA is considering its dormant IPs.
  • SEGA has been reviving classic franchises, so Skies of Arcadia may come back.

Have you ever thought about what could potentially happen with the beloved role-playing game series from Sega, Skies of Arcadia, which originally launched on the Dreamcast? After a long hiatus, there’s speculation that the company might decide to revive this classic franchise.

It seems that Sega has recently applied for a new trademark related to Skies of Arcadia. However, let me clarify that this doesn’t necessarily mean an official announcement is coming up. In fact, Sega often files new trademarks for intellectual properties that have been inactive, so it might not indicate any immediate news.

Will Skies of Arcadia Soar Again?

On January 16, 2025, the application for the Skies of Arcadia was submitted. It was made public on January 24 through FinalWeapon. While this doesn’t guarantee a new Skies of Arcadia game is underway, it does suggest that SEGA continues to consider and potentially plan for the franchise.

2023’s got me excited, ’cause ol’ SEGA just dropped some trademarks on their classic games! After Burner, Crazy Taxi, House of the Dead, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Alex Kidd, Outrun, and Super Monkey Ball – these are the names that have been echoing in my gaming memories. And guess what? Last month, they even filed for Ecco the Dolphin! Can’t wait to see what’s next from this legendary gaming company!

The House of the Dead 2 Remake has also been announced, and is due for release in Spring 2025.

In December of 2023, it was announced that SEGA is presently working on refreshing several of its popular franchises, including Crazy Taxi, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, and Jet Set Radio, into new titles.

It’s plausible that the news might signal a fresh chapter in Skies of Arcadia, or alternatively, Sega may be planning to reintroduce the game on modern platforms.

It’s possible that SEGA might be registering new trademarks for their iconic games, which could indicate a potential streaming platform similar to Netflix that the company is reportedly considering.

Should you be unfamiliar with the Role-Playing Game (RPG), Skies of Arcadia, it made its debut in either October or November 2000 on the SEGA Dreamcast. The protagonists were Vyse and his crew of jovial pirates, who embarked on a mission to halt a particular event.

The Valuan Empire was known for resurrecting powerful weapons capable of global annihilation. Following its launch, Skies of Arcadia garnered widespread praise, but unfortunately, due to the PlayStation 2 outperforming the Dreamcast in the console rivalry, a sequel never came to fruition.
