Drakerider is a new episodic RPG for iOS from Square Enix
You know that trademark for "Drakerider" that surfaced earlier this year? Turns out it's not the sequel to PS2 game Drakengard we hoped for, but instead a new iOS RPG. Drakerider focuses on Aron and his dragon pal Eckhardt who race to save the land of Igraine from the evil spirit Dread.Like every Square Enix iOS game, Drakerider will cost you more than the usual App Store download. The first chapter of the five-chapter game is free, but each subsequent chapter will set you back $6.99 – or $20.99 if you want the full game.%Gallery-164545%
Square Enix files for European trademarks 'Drakerider' and 'Blood of Chaos'
The problem with trademark filings, folks, is that unless they're tied to an already existing intellectual property, it's a bit difficult to suss out whether they're for a new game or for a new downloadable content pack or ... what, exactly. Such is the case with two newly discovered Square Enix trademark filings, one for "Drakerider" and one for "Blood of Chaos" -- neither of which flickers our memory to life.Siliconera discovered said filings, both of which were completed in Europe, and also discovered corresponding URL registrations tied to each. And while they conservatively suppose that these trademarks could be tied to the Drakengard and Blood of Bahumut series', we're just gonna put it all out there: "Drakerider" is clearly a crosspromotion between Sony and Square to create the Uncharted kart racing game we all expected from Naughty Dog, wherein players pilot bipedal "Drakeracers" against chocobos in a race against the end of the world. No idea about that other one, sadly.
