Insomniac’s punk-rock parkour has a new home
In news that might be apropos of nothing, Sony Interactive Entertainmenthas officially trademarkedtheSunset Overdrivebrand, making the former Xbox exclusive an officially owned Sony IP.
When developer Insomniac Games took its crazy, hypercolor shooter to Microsoft way back in 2011, part of the exclusivity deal was Insomniac retaining ownership of theSunset OverdriveIP. Insomniac Games would, of course, be purchased by SIE in August 2019, bringingSpider-Manand other Insomniac brands into the Sony portfolio.
This new trademark registration, (spotted by Resetera user Sillegamer) could simply be be a case of Sony finally rubber-stamping its ownership ofSunset Overdrive— dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s, as it were — but the news has understandably gotten franchise fans antsy for the possibility of a PlayStation remaster or, even better, a brand new sequel.
