In reply to Renka’s tweet, Gematsu added that Square Enix also ed the same trademark in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia throughout March 2021. Although the European and Australian trademarks only classified as category 28 — which comprised toy-scaled models and physical games, the Japanese and North American registrations added category 41 that also includes provisions related to video games.

The last time we heard of a Front Mission-related trademark registration was in 2009. That year, Square Enix survival action game taking place in the Front Mission universe, for PlayStation 4 and PC in 2019.

The Front Mission series had its roots as a Nintendo DS port of the first game in 2007.
