Sega has been on a revival kick lately, bringing back major IPs like Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, Streets of Rage, andVirtua Fighter.
But what about Skies of Arcadia, the beloved turn-based RPG from the Dreamcast era? Fans may get their wish sooner rather than later as the company has trademarked Skies of Arcadia and Eternal Arcadia (its Japanese name) on January 16th.
The listings recently went public, as discovered by Gematsu. Released in October 2000, Skies of Arcadia garnered extensive critical acclaim.
It would receive a Nintendo GameCube port, Skies of Arcadia Legends, in 2002 with additional content, and while a sequel was considered, it ultimately never happened.
There’s also never been a remaster or port for current-gen platforms. Whether the listings mean plans to pursue a new project, a remaster, a sequel or an imminent announcement for something else remains to be seen, but it’s a positive sign.
