People Can Fly trademarks Bulletstorm

By Oli Welsh Published 4 January, 2010

Could be title of Epic/EA project.

Warsaw-based developer People Can Fly has trademarked the title "Bulletstorm", according to Kotaku.

The trademark filing itself is for "computer software for use with personal computers, for use with home video game consoles for use with televisions, and for use with arcade-based video game consoles for use with televisions".

Back in August, we reported that EA and Epic (which owns a majority stake in People Can Fly) had struck a deal to publish a new game from the Polish studio, creators of Painkiller and the PC version of Gears of War.

Join the dots. The new game is a PC, 360 and PS3 release.

    Maybe they just forgot the spaces and this is about two french detectives called Bull and Storm; Bull et Storm?

    Why didn't they trademark Bulletstorm-EDGE?

    Sounds good. Loved Painkiller.

    Painkiller was an awesome game and did very well for me and my friends in filling the gap left by the Half Life 2 delays. Would love to see a proper sequel or even just a similar game from this developer. The Serious Sam style gameplay with interesting weapons and top notch physics kept me playing Painkiller right through to the end and through onto the expansion as well.

    Am interested to see what exactly Bulletstorm is, new IPs are so rare these days.
