It appears Sony has registered a trademark for Sunset Overdrive, which was developed by Insomniac Games.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sunset Overdrive<\/strong> trademark was filed by Sony on April 26<\/a>, according to US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) documents.<\/p>\n

Insomniac Games owns the IP, and the game was an Xbox One exclusive when it was released in October 2014, before the game was eventually released on PC in 2018<\/a>. It’s still available through Xbox Game Pass for PC, going by the listing on Microsoft’s XBGP website<\/a>, which makes sense because Microsoft is the publisher.<\/p>\n

Sony acquired Insomniac in August of 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While this doesn’t necessarily mean the game is coming to PlayStation consoles, it is a rather interesting find by Nibel<\/a>. Whether Sony is planning to release the game on its consoles or is prepping for a sequel is obviously unknown at this time. It might just be getting its ducks in a row.<\/p>\n

Although VG247 wasn’t too crazy about the game<\/a>, it received rather nice reviews<\/a> when it was released, and currently holds a Metacritic score of 81.<\/p>\n
