Sony has recently registered two new trademarks with the Japanese Patent and Trademark Office

The first is for Boku to Maou, which is the original Japanese name of Okage: Shadow King, released by Sony in 2001 for PS2, and developed in collaboration witb Zener Works.

The second is for Hajimari no Boken, which is the subtitle of Popolocrois: Adventure of Beginnings, the fourth game of the Popolocrois series, also released on PS2 in 2002.

Both trademarks were filed under the 9 class, which is obviously for games.

We don’t know whether Sony intends to bring back the two games as part of its prolific Game Archives series, or to revive them in some other way, but they surely bring back fond memories.

Boku to Maou?

Wouldn't that mean something like The Demond King and I.

Sounds like some odd children's book or some weird comic I would read.

With such a vast catalog...why these?

Granted I enjoyed Popolocrois on the PSP.... Is it possible this has to do with the rumorred PS2 emulator?

PS2 classics, right?

Though they're not compatible with PS4, which is their focus going forward.

I've love to see Sony restore games like this as digital titles capable of running on PS4/Vita.

I played that game too. It was a nice turn based JRPG.

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:
