Renegade Kid’s upcoming first-person shooter announcement might just be “Moon Chronicles”. Last Thursday, the studio filed a trademark for the name in the US and it was entered in the Trademark Reporting and Monitoring System (TRAM) yesterday.

Interestingly enough, Renegade Kid regained the publishing rights to Moon today. That’s probably not a coincidence!

Now the question is whether Moon Chronicles is an updated version of the DS original or a true follow up…

Unepic will launch in Europe on January 23, EnjoyUp Games announced today. It was previously given a January 16 release date in North America.

We’ll have news on Unepic’s pricing tomorrow.

Playdeck’s new project, Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians, could end up hitting 3DS. The game’s Kickstarter has an admittedly high $2.8 million stretch goal for Nintendo’s portable, but it’s doable with a full month of funding.

Unsung Story is a tactical RPG designed by Yasumi Matsuno. Matsuno’s previous works include Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen, Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy XII, MadWorld, and Crimson Shroud (from Guild01).

You can check out the official Kickstarter page here. The project will need to reach $600,000 by February 14 so that it can secure funding for a PC release.

D3Publisher has announced two new video game combo packs for Nintendo platforms.

Both packs are due out in March.

We knew it was coming, but Renegade Kid has officially regained the publishing rights to Moon.

Studio co-founder Jools Watsham wrote on Twitter just a few minutes ago:

Moon was one of the earliest titles produced by Renegade Kid. Mastiff published the game in North America, but the company’s agreement only lasted five years. Moon came out in 2009, so Renegade Kid now controls the IP’s rights.
