Square Enix registered 2 new domains on May 18th, www.sqexwest.com and www.sqex-west.com .

I wonder if this is some sort of rebranding effort for their western studios?

A Google search for "SQEX West" turns up nothing but the domain names. A search for "Square Enix West" shows a few references to Phil Rogers, whose job title was "Square Enix West CEO" but almost all of those references are from 2013.

Square Enix (or should I call them SQEX?) also trademarked "SQEX Connect" back in February.

EDIT: Make that 4 domains:
www.square-enix-west.com
www.squareenixwest.com

EDIT2: These were registered by Square Enix Limited (aka Square Enix Europe) in London.
