First spotted by Gematsu, Square Enix has filed a trademark for the 1994 Super Famicom game Live A Live on July 2, 2020. Live A Live is a time-traveling RPG that was directed by Takashi Tokita, the man who would go on to direct Chrono Trigger.

This trademark has been filed for the Australian region code but it is interesting to note that the listed language for the game is English, as the original never saw a Western release and only had Japanese language options. The game has been rereleased a few times, on the Wii U in 2015 and the 3DS in 2016, but never with any new language options.

Now, perhaps, there could be hope of an official English version of Live A Live coming soon. However, a trademark does not confirm a game is on the way and there is no way of knowing if this will bring anything new for the series. Hopefully, Square Enix will share its intentions with this trademark soon.

The Life is Strange and Vampyr developer, Dontnod Entertainment is establishing a new studio in Montreal, Canada according to a PR email that has been sent out. The apparent reason for the expand is for the French developer to be closer to its North American fans, but the email also mentions a new project they will be working on in this studio.

It’s also worth mentioning that apparently only French versions of this email have been sent out thus far, and an official English translation is not available at this time. You can check out the complete PR email unofficially translated to English below, courtesy of GoNintendo:

Update: An official statement for Gamescom 2020 has now been released, which we have below.

Original: The German Press Agency has reported that the German government have banned all public events until August 31st 2020 in response to social distancing measures implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic, effectively cancelling Gamescom 2020.

While the show’s organizers have yet to comment on the status of the show going forward, last month a post on the event’s website claiming that if the physical event could not go ahead, they would instead host a digital event in its absence.

This story is developing and we will update as the organisers respond to this situation.

Gamescom statement

Even though not all details are known at present, the nationwide ban on major events until the end of August will also affect the planning for Gamescom 2020. Furthermore: Gamescom 2020 will definitely take place digitally! We will provide further information shortly.
