Square Enix Japan recently filed a trademark for "Stormblood," which could mean that the company is developing a new game that should be announced soon. The trademark was filed on Aug. 30, 2016.
"Stormblood" can be an entirely new series or an installment in an already existing franchise by Square Enix. Twitter user trademark_bot discovered the trademark application. Since Square Enix has no "Stormblood" title in its current list of games, it is likely that the game publisher may be working on a new project. Fans are already looking forward to an official announcement. It is also possible that Square Enix merely trademarked "Stormblood" for no solid reason, so no actual game might result.
PCGamesN wrote that in the past few years, Square Enix has been enjoying some success on PC, after acquiring game publisher Eidos. "Stormblood" seems to be more of a Japanese project, which could also mean that it will not be available on PC. Some believe that "Stormblood" is a new expansion in the "Final Fantasy" series. Square Enix has yet to comment on the recent trademark filing. Fans are advised to stay updated and share any details on "Stormblood," if they have any.
Players trying to get more details on "Stormblood" should be advised that there are several instances where companies file trademarks just to reserve the name and without any developing project. Several gaming companies frequently file and renew trademarks without starting any title or merely to prevent others from taking the potential title. Some fans, however, continue to speculate that "Stormblood" may be a classic JRPG or fast-paced action game. It may be a spin-off or a completely new RPG series that may follow the success of "Final Fantasy."
Aside from a potential "Stormblood" game, Square Enix is preparing to launch several titles before 2016 ends. Some of the most anticipated games include "Final Fantasy XV" and "World of Final Fantasy." The first game is set to arrive on Nov. 29, 2016. The second game is said to be the funniest game in the series yet. More updates and details on "Stormblood" are expected soon.
