Sega Trademarks “Skies of Arcadia,” Sparking Hopes for a Remaster

Fans of classic RPGs are buzzing after Sega filed a new trademark for the beloved Dreamcast title, Skies of Arcadia. The trademark, spotted in Japan’s intellectual property database, has reignited speculation that the game may finally receive a modern remaster or remake as reported originally by Gematsu.

The Original

Skies of Arcadia, originally released in 2000, is one of the most acclaimed JRPGs of its era, praised for its vibrant world, airship battles, and unforgettable characters – it has a stellar score of 93 on Metacritic.

While it was ported to the Nintendo GameCube in 2003 as Skies of Arcadia Legends, it has yet to make its way to modern consoles.

The new trademark could mean several things: a re-release, a remaster, or even a sequel. However, trademarks don’t always guarantee new projects, as companies often renew them simply to protect intellectual property. Still, the timing feels significant, with Sega increasingly mining its back catalogue for nostalgic projects, including Sonic Origins and the Like a Dragon series.

Will Skies of Arcadia finally return to the skies? Only time will tell, but Sega’s move has undeniably sparked hope.
