SEGA has re-registered the Skies of Arcadia trademark alongside its Japanese counterpart, Eternal Arcadia.
This prompts the question as to what SEGA might have in store for Skies of Arcadia, whether it be a remaster or remake of the original game or perhaps a brand new entry. All we have to go on right now is this trademark filing, so we’ll just have to wait and see if anything comes of it.
Skies of Arcadia turned 20 back in 2020, and early that year programmer Kenji Hiruta said that he’s still hoping to make a sequel, although five years on from this and nothing has materialised, sadly.
Skies of Arcadia was released for the Dreamcast back in 2000 and was developed by Overworks. The game follows sky pirate Vyse, who teams up with a group of fellow pirates to prevent the Valuan Empire from unearthing a bunch of ancient weapons that threaten to destroy the world. The game was well-received by critics at the time but sold poorly, with plans for a sequel in the early 2000s abandoned alongside a PS2 version of the original game. Nonetheless, SEGA released it for the GameCube as Skies of Arcadia Legends.
