SEGA files Project Century-related trademarks in Japan [Update]

SEGA filed new trademarks in Japan on December 10, at least two of which are connected to its recently announced Project Century from Like a Dragon series developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

The first trademark, “Yashima Boueki Kaisha” (Japan Trade Company), is the name of the company that appears on the jacket of the protagonist in the Project Century trailer. The second trademark, a logo for the company, also appears on the protagonist’s jacket.

The third trademark, “City of Wars,” does not appear in the trailer, but given that it was filed alongside the other two, and Project Century‘s 1915 urban setting, it is possible “City of Wars” is a title or subtitle.

Update 12/26/24: The “City of Wars” trademark ended up being for the Japanese version of the iOS and Android game Yakuza Wars, which will be distributed by Hong Kong Black Beard Game under the name City of Wars Powered by Ryu Ga Gotoku. Visit the official website here.
