New Senran Kagura Trademark Made Public
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
A trademark for "Shinobi Master - Senran Kagura New Link" was filed on June 26 and made public on Tuesday. The trademark was filed in categories that include console, computer, and mobile games.
Marvelous recently established a new subsidiary company named Honey∞Parade Games on May 9. The new company's main focus will be the production and promotion of the Senran Kagura series, but it also aims to create "next generation" IP. Senran Kagura series producer Kenichirō Takaki, who previously established the Honey∞Parade Games studio within Marvelous, now serves as representative director for the new company.
The Senran Kagura franchise began with the release of the original game on the Nintendo 3DS in September 2011. The games inspired a television anime in 2013. Funimation streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and released it on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in 2014.
The latest game release in the series is Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash, a PlayStation 4 game that shipped in Japan on March 16. XSEED Games will release the game in North America and Europe this summer. A new Senran Kagura game tentatively titled Shinobi Rifure -Senran Kagura- is in development for Nintendo Switch.
