After rumors that surfaced earlier this year suggested that Beyond Good & Evil 2 could be an NX exclusive, Ubisoft has now filed a new trademark for the series.
The filing includes Class 9 (game software), Class 41 (online component to game software),Class 16 (paper products), Class 25 (clothing) and Class 28 (games and playthings).

Could this be related to the Beyond Good & Evil 2 reveal happening soon?

They probably just want to keep the trademark alive. I wouldn't read too much into this.

 

[RK128]

Nintendo saves the day again !

Hope this is announced, as so many want a new Beyond Good & Evil to happen .

 

[dancrane212]

Start the E3 countdown!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Damn E3 can not come fast enough! I want to see BG&E2 announced for NX at E3!

But why would they apply for clothing and paper (manga or comics) then? Doesn't really make sense to me if they just wanted to protect the original game's trademark.

No this E3 it's happening.

BELIEVE

 

[KZXcellent]

Don't hurt me again, Ubi. Please.

Ubisoft want everything online focused which doesn't excite me much and getting Nintendo on that train, that will interesting to see if they have snapped it up.

 

[Death Metalist]

It's happening. It's just happening so fucking slow.

 

[jesu]

Doesn't this happen with loads of old games.
Like all of Rare's for example.

I see what you did there!

And Killer Instinct got a sequel after renewal.
I think TLG's trademark expired and then got picked up as well

 

[Freeman76]

Ps4 and xbox one release of the hd version lol

 

[hughesta]

Happening levels at 40%. Please advise.

 

[Mac the KNife]

I loved BG&E and I'm not even sure I care anymore. It's been that long.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Does it not cover processed cheese products?

This new filing covers more classes and goods however.

Fixed your post.

Edit: And then you did it yourself. And now I feel like an idiot.

 

[Tizoc]

They should touch up the current PC release of the original game first @_@

Say cheese.

Does that mean?

Finally the leggings we were all dreaming off?

 

[ngower]

This sequel is going to be the death of me. My poor heart can't take any more of this.

 

[MutFox]

Hope we see some stuff soon...

I ain't getting hyped. No way. Not until I have the game in my hands.

That's what people said when Yu Suzuki posted a picture of a forklift prior to E3.

 

[Armadilo]

That NX exclusive, yo!

 

[Danis Saur]

Not getting my hopes up for a release this year, but I have hope for the future.

 

[diamount]

This franchise is dead people, deal with it.

 

[Garlador]

Every time... my hype levels, every single time...

 

[Mariolee]

Year of Dreams 2 baby

 

[Zalman]

They would've said it was cancelled a long time ago if it wasn't going to happen. Only a matter of time.

 

[Neoxon]

While it is a good sign, this doesn't equate to a confirmation. Companies renew trademarks for dormant IPs all the time. Until more news comes, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

 

[Grisby]

So, to the bunker or no?

 

[Alpha Phoenix]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Don't worry soldier, stay your course.

The dream never dies.

 

[potatohead]

They release so many games yet can't release the only game I want from them, sad days.

 

[Daredevil.shark]

Propaganda....propaganda.....propaganda.....na na na na nananana......

Can't wait for BGE2. This E3. Let's do this.

 

[topplehat]

Please be something.

Okay, forget what I said then. I assumed their previous trademark was expiring. Something is definitely happening...

 

[Kjellson]

It's happening. It's just happening so fucking slow.

More than ten weeks till E3.

 

[Neoxon]

So, to the bunker or no?

Not yet

 

[Anarky]

Man I can't wait to see Gaf's reaction if it's revealed to be an NX timed exclusive.

 

[FATALITY]

NX launch game?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Man I can't wait to see Gaf's reaction when it's revealed to be an NX timed exclusive.

The rumor said Nintendo is funding it. So it would be exclusive then.

 

[ShamePain]

 

[Justinh]

If it does happen, I hope to effing God it looks nothing like that leaked "footage" from years ago.
