Tactics Ogre: Reborn Trademarked By Square Enix

gamerant.com:

Many consider Tactics Ogre to be one of the greatest tactical role-playing games of all time. Initially released for the SNES by the now-defunct developer Quest Corporation, it significantly impacted later SquareSoft and Square Enix games like Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Excluding remakes, there has not been a new Tactics Ogre game since Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis for the Game Boy Advance in 200l. However, that may soon change, as Square Enix recently filed a Japanese trademark application for Tactics Ogre: Reborn.

New Chrono Cross Screenshots Compare Original to Remaster

Japanese Twitter user Renka_schedule discovered the trademark application and shared it on social media. In addition, they posted a screenshot of the application with the caption “Square Enix Tactics Ogre: Reborn trademark application.” A Tactics Ogre remaster was previously leaked as part of the Nvidia GeForce Now leak last November. However, Square Enix still hasn’t offered up a full announcement. Thus, there’s no indication of when development might begin or how long until release. Square Enix’s trademark application is thus the closest that fans have gotten to an official confirmation.

Of course, a trademark application does not mean that a game or product is coming soon. For example, in 2019, Sony filed trademark applications for the next 20-30 years of PlayStation consoles. While that’s an extreme example, it shows that some game companies are willing to sit on a trademark for years in case they need it. Thus, Tactics Ogre: Reborn might be at least a few years away, assuming Square Enix doesn’t scrap the idea at some point. Fans will just have to hope that a full announcement comes sooner rather than later.
