Sony Trademarks “VRPG” In Japan: Could it Be a Virtual Reality RPG?

Sword Art Online fans might find the latest trademark filed by Sony Computer Entertainment with the Japanese Patent and Trademark Office quite exciting. On December 17th, the house of PlayStation filed for the registration of the mark “VRPG” for class 9, which indicates games.

The description of the trademark offers no further indication on what it could entail, as it includes pretty much all the standard definition for game trademarks, but the acronym “VRPG” is definitely interesting, as it could stand for “Virtual RPG”.

While we have no way to be sure, considering Sony’s commitment to virtual reality with PlayStation VR, it definitely wouldn’t be too surprising. Most importantly, it would be awesome.

You can see the full registration document below.

If Apps can be registered then why not.

You could argue that Sony are the first to use VRTV and so it gives them every right to pattent this.

Graphically many rpgs made for Japan look like shit so the transition to VR could be possible. Would definitely peaked interest over here

I am not sure it's a title for a game. At least not the word ''VRPG'' by itself. Maybe they are trademarking a gerne or something?

Or it could be a subtitle for one of Sony's franchises like Demon's Souls: VRPG

Not that I want to derail my own tread but have any of you lovely folk got a link to the NPD thread?
