Could the decades-long drought finally be over?

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.

Sega has seemingly renewed its trademark for Skies of Arcadia, a classic Dreamcast RPG, though that doesn't necessarily mean it's making a comeback.

Sega registers a fresh trademark for a cult classic game, which could lead to a sequel for a long-dormant and wildly popular Dreamcast-era franchise.

Skies of Arcadia has been given a fresh trademark by Sega, raising fan hopes for some kind of revival. Fresh trademarks for the beloved Dreamcast and GameCube RPG - including for the game's original Japanese title Eternal Arcadia - were filed on 16th January and made public on 24th January, Final Weapon reported.

Skies of Arcadia first launched on the Dreamcast in 2000 and is often considered one of the best games on the system. It got an expanded rerelease on GameCube titled Skies of Arcadia Legends in 2002 (2003 in the West) which added new quests and discoveries, and that remains the only port of the sky pirate turn-based RPG.

There's renewed hope for the return of a beloved role-playing game, as Sega looks to revive its classic franchises.
