Trademark filings by developer Supermassive Games have seemingly revealed the titles and logos for the next five The Dark Pictures Anthology installments.

Supermassive Games still manages to carve out its own lane in the yearly release schedule, though, and it seems the studio has the next several years on lock, too.
