uNi Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Rockstar and 2K Games parent company Take-Two Interactive has filed a pair of new trademark applications for what appears to be a new game called "Judas." The trademark applications were filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office on April 22, covering things like online games and more. You can see the trademarks for yourself via the links below (via DualShockers): http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87011337&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87011340&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearch Last week, NeoGAF users discovered that Take-Two had also applied for Judas trademarks in Europe. The trademark applications do not include any further details on what Judas might be. In a possibly related development, it has also been discovered that "www.judasthegame.com" is registered to brand protection agency MarkMonitor, which is also the registrar for Rockstar's official website. A Take-Two representative declined to comment when approached by GameSpot today. Via gamestop Coin, Pavle, WanteD1 and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sikee Atric Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) Judas is a bit of a weird name.... Not as in source, but what it refers to. Possibly linking to a new Bully game, or development of one, but it could easily fit into GTA as well as an organisation or business. Keep an open mind I guess.

PhillBellic Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Grand Theft Auto: New Testament. Sorry, that's the first thing that came to my mind there. OT: It's too early to tell what it could be referring to, in my opinion. Eram, Thesmophoriazusae, Shah Sam and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajjy Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 When I saw 'Judas', the first thing I thought of was the famous deepthroatgta4 and Revelation/Genesis. Kernel32, kj2022 and universetwisters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
018361 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 It was probably a project originally started by The Benz and after he decided to sue R* they renamed it out of spite. That's what it sounds like to me anyway. Anyway, I don't know what it could be but it's good to know that something new may be in development.

Osho Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Could be related to Mafia III [ DLC ]. Refer: The Kiss of death (mafia). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarimNTerr Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm pretty sure that's a codename for a future project, and not the actual name of the game. Remember when GTAV was codenamed "Rush"? However, that could be anything, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with Rockstar Games instead of 2K seeing as Judas' website is registered to brand protection agency MarkMonitor, which is also the registrar for Rockstar Games' official website. Thanks for sharing, uNi, this seems to be very interesting. Payne Killer and Thesmophoriazusae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) The Housers are making a game about (what they think of) Leslie, confirmed. Synopsis and everything: "Delve into the story of a game developer who betrayed all his brethren and thought he was owed some money. Follow the adventures of David and Samuel Mouser, in the quest to keep what is theirs!"

Kirsty Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Interesting name, sounds like might be protagonist centered like Max Payne, its religious connections might be a red herring. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they don't need to file a trademark registration for codenames do they? I thought they only appeared on things like casting calls and documents as to not reveal the true identity of the game (such as Project Rush for GTA V). If they've registered a domain for it too, then it's not likely to be just a codename. Spider-Vice, Thesmophoriazusae and overblord 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abel. Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Guessing this is going to be an open world action game set during the Maccabean revolt. You play as a Hellenized Jew from the backstreets of the Old City playing the Seleucids off against the Maccabeans. Will you choose the monetary rewards offered by the Seleucids or remain loyal to your people? Multiple endings are confirmed at this point, one with a Maccabean victory as in our timeline, one with Assyrian domination of the Holy Land. Featuring Scott Hill as Yehudah/Judas Maccabee and Gal Gadot as Hannah. Raavi, overblord and Thesmophoriazusae 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 BTW, the Markmonitor argument isn't really valid for it being a Rockstar game because the 2K Games domain is also managed by Markmonitor, as are all Take-Two domains. But given 2K is releasing Mafia and has released XCOM, I guess this could be a Rockstar game, unless some other 2K studio is doing something.

If they've registered a domain for it too, then it's not likely to be just a codename. Nice observation, Kirsty. I really don't know how those things work to be honest, but considering how much Rockstar Games secretive is, this could also be a stunt to not make things clear enough, but this is just a wild and most likely wrong assumption on my part. However, if Judas isn't the actual name, but just a codename, I think it may be related to the next Red Dead game. Red Dead Revolver was strongly about betrayal, which lead to Red Harlow's revenge. In Red Dead Redemption we also witnessed a very important betrayal. Plus, both "Redemption" and "Judas" are words related to religion. Also, Red Dead Redemption discussed religion on multiple occasions. Maybe I'm just looking too much into it, and I'm probably very wrong. BTW, the Markmonitor argument isn't really valid for it being a Rockstar game because the 2K Games domain is also managed by Markmonitor, as are all Take-Two domains. But given 2K is releasing Mafia and has released XCOM, I guess this could be a Rockstar game, unless some other 2K studio is doing something. I just checked that out, and yes, you're right. Not only Rockstar Games, but also 2K and Take-Two Interactive use MarkMonitor as the domain for their websites. However yes, it's clearly a Rockstar Games' project. Now I get why Take-Two Interactive claimed that they're going to be at this year's E3 in a big way. Kirsty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not "clearly" a R* project, 2K has a load of studios too, and they have XCOM, Borderlands, Mafia... It could just be a new IP, but we'll see. Rockstar has pending projects, maybe they should've tried to develop those first. BTW, yeah, it can't be a codename as they've registered a domain for it.

Spider-Vice Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Judas might be 2K and not Rockstar. After some searching in the trademark database, I found that Andrea L. Calvaruso registered it. She also registered the XCom trademark along with the Bioshock trademark and others. Kristen McCallion registered all the Rockstar trademarks. GTA V. Red Dead (Redemption). Midnight Club.

Spider-Vice Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Trademarking a codename that's supposed to be internal might be an unnecessary cost. Because these things aren't free.
