Interplay Re-Registers The Descent, Baldur’s Gate, and Clayfighter Trademarks

We missed you, Bad Mr. Frosty.

Could we see Clayfighter’s clay snowmen fighting clay Elvis again? That’s a whole big bag of “maybe,” but Interplays re-registering of those game’s trademarks could give us some fun hope for the next-gen updates of these classic franchises.

Further signs that Interplay is restarting its development studio include the recent (December 2007) registering or re-registering of trademarks related to its past games, including Descent, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, Die By The Sword, Clay Fighter, Run Like Hell, Virtual Chess, Stonekeep, Lionheart and Messiah.

Extra points if you caught the fact that they re-registered the Die By The Sword trademark, a game created by Mark Nau, who Chad just interviewed about his work on the new Incredible Hulk game. Do I sense an updated Wii swordplay game coming?
