Right then, Zenimax Media has been spotted filing for a new trademark on the Quake<\/em> name, which has understandably got some fans a bit excited.<\/p>\n This year also marks the 30th anniversary of the Quake<\/em> franchise, which also makes this extra exciting as fans are hoping for some sort of announcement from Machine Games, who is also apparently working on a new Wolfenstein<\/em> title.<\/p>\n Timur222 posted on X that they had spotted the new filing which was made on March 3. You can view it here. Interestingly, it\u2019s not a renewal of the old trademark, but rather a new one.<\/p>\n ZeniMax did something similiar last year when they filed for trademarks for Quake<\/em>, Deathloop<\/em>, Wolfenstein<\/em> and Dishonored<\/em>. Those covered a variety of things such as videogames, other forms of media, merch etc.<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s Quake<\/em> trademark filing was focused on merchandise, whereas this year\u2019s filing is aimed at videogames specifically.<\/p>\n But let\u2019s pump the brakes for a moment because this new application is likely just regular maintenence. Trademarks like this are typically renewed every 9-10 years or else they lapse. Quake Champions<\/em> launched in 2017 which would be the last time the series also provided \u201cactive use\u201d of the name. This new trademark sits at the 9-year mark, exactly when a company would be looking to renew.<\/p>\n However, that doesn\u2019t mean a game isn\u2019t going to happen. There\u2019s been a few little potential teases toward Quake<\/em> making a comeback, and it is going to be the 30th anniversary.<\/p>\n In 2024, Machine Games very obviously teased something Quake<\/em> related when a behind-the-scenes video of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/em> showed a whiteboard sporting the Quake <\/em>logo.<\/p>\n So, in other words, the filing likely doesn\u2019t mean anything by itself, but when combined with everything else, I think there\u2019s a good chance Quake<\/em> is going to reappear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Right then, Zenimax Media has been spotted filing for a new trademark on the Quake name, which has understandably got some fans a bit excited.
