Marvel looks to be beefing up its video game offerings, and it might be cooking up something especially sweet for fans of the “Secret Wars” storyline.

A report from Bleeding Cool indicates that the company has just filed a trademark for “Secret Wars” that spreads across a number of categories, but mainly revolves around games. Here’s the full rundown, according to the publication:
Downloadable electronic game software for use on mobile phones and handheld computers; video game software; computer game software and Providing computer and online games; providing games for use in connection with computers, mobile computers, media players, cellular phones, wireless devices, and portable and handheld digital electronic devices; providing information relating to online games via global computer networks and electronic communication networks; providing an online entertainment information service featuring information regarding computer games, enhancements for computer games, online games, and game applications via global computer networks and electronic communication networks; providing temporary use of non-downloadable computer and online games; providing temporary use of non-downloadable software for playing computer and online games; providing temporary use of non-downloadable software to enable playing and otherwise providing computer and online games; providing interactive websites and applications featuring computer and online games and non-downloadable games.
That’s a mouthful, but it indicates we could be getting some kind of “Secret Wars” product down the road either as a mobile release or maybe even something for console.
Marvel hasn’t commented on the matter just yet, but considering that “Secret Wars” was one of its popular entities back in the ’80s, and the most recent event bearing its name, bringing it back wouldn’t really be a bad thing. After all, the Mattel toys sold really well, and it brought together some great heroes and villains from the Marvel universe.
