Mr. Driller Encore and other Encore titles trademarked In Japan

Bandai Namco trademarked ‘Klonoa of the Wind Encore‘ in Japan – which might point to at a possible remaster of the game. Can we get more encores?

Well yes as it looks like Klonoa won’t be jumping back into the modern era alone!

Encore encore encore

Fans have discovered that the publisher also registered several other ‘Encore’ games – thus raising the number of new trademarks to five, inclduing Klonoa.

The full list of ‘Encore’ trademark entries is now as follows:

  • “Mr. Driller Encore“
  • “Klonoa of the Wind Encore“
  • “Splatter House Encore“
  • “Genpei Touma Den Encore“
  • “Wagyan Land Encore“

These listings aren’t just for show, either. In particular, the trademark listing for Mr. Driller Encore actually includes an official logo already – which you can see below.

Previously,  Bandai Namco used the term ‘Encore’ for Katamari Damacy Encore in Japan, which launched as Katamari Damacy Reroll worldwide. From the looks of things, these past-gen titles are likely heading back onto modern consoles in a similar fashion!

We do hope Bandai Namco will make an official announcement soon!
