Namco Bandai has trademarked “Zombie Stampede”, “Dead Hunters”, and “Bloodbath Boulevard” in Japan. Each was registered on the same day, interestingly enough. Given Namco Bandai’s previous habits, any of the three could be the name of a single title Namco Bandai is planning for the future.

In Japan, Namco Bandai has registered a new trademark for “Empire of Dreams”. The name was registered on October 29th and published in the database today.

Does Empire of Dreams sound familiar? It should if you’re a Klonoa fan. Namco released Klonoa: Empire of Dreams for the Game Boy Advance well over a decade ago. Could this filing be at all related?

Two Japanese trademarks hint at future localizations for Dragon Quest titles. Don’t let the fact that they’ve been registered in Japan fool you – the names themselves are in English: “Luminaries of the Legendary Line” and “The Seeds of Salvation”.

Neither title actually includes the “Dragon Quest” name. But both use similar alliteration as past games, like Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, Hand of the Heavenly Bride, Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation, and Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. Previous overseas launches have also been outed first by trademarks.
