Cygames files new Lost Order trademarks after years of silence

Lost Order may not be dead after all. Cygames recently filed new trademarks for Lost Order in Europe and the United States, reviving speculation around the long-dormant real-time tactics game. The project was originally announced in 2016 and was co-developed with PlatinumGames, but its last major public activity was a closed beta test in 2017. Since then, many players assumed it had quietly been canceled. Gematsu notes that CyberAgent, Cygames’ parent company, previously created confusion by saying development had been put on hold, then later corrected that statement and said the game was still in development. New trademarks do not guarantee an announcement, trailer or release window, but they often signal that a company still has plans for a title or wants to protect the name before resurfacing it. For strategy fans, the appeal is curiosity. Lost Order was once pitched as an ambitious mobile tactics project with a distinctive art direction and major development pedigree. If Cygames is preparing to bring it back, the game will need to explain what it has become after nearly a decade of silence.
