Aaand the saga is finally over - Sony Interactive Entertainment have officially completed the trademark of the Sunset Overdrive brand, making the former Xbox exclusive a new Sony IP.


Back when Insomniac Games took their crazy, hyperactive shooter to Microsoft in 2011, a part of the deal was the fact that Insomniac would retain ownership of the Sunset Overdrive IP. Insomniac Games would also be purchased by SiE in August 2019, bring many exclusive Insomniac titles (like Spider-Man) into the Sony portfolio.


This new trademark registration simply means that Sony took full ownership of the franchise, and understandably, this got many people excited. Maybe we have a remaster waiting for us? Or a brand new sequel? One can hope! We will keep you updated if we get more information on this matter in the future.
