Electronic Arts has
filed a new Trademark for
Jade Empire, the action/RPG that was
released in 2005.
PCGamesN noticed this
on this site
which covers the same filing, and speculate this may or may not mean a new game
in the series is coming. This may be for a new game, as this seems to focus on online
gaming, saying: "Entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer
game; Provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided
via the Internet." On the other hand, this may just be legal housekeeping, as
the original Jade Empire Trademark is marked "cancelled," saying a "change
in registration has occurred." This seems to stem from EA's acquisition of
BioWare since the original game was published by Microsoft Game Studios.
