Square Enix Registers Blood Masque Web Domains

[Update]

We got a (not too revealing) reply from a Square Enix representative this morning:

"Unfortunately we are unable to make a comment."

[Original Story]

Is this the first sign of a new Square Enix franchise? Let's hope so. Fusible spotted two domain registrations created on January 29, both registered to Square Enix. The registrations were for bloodmasque.com and bloodmasque.net.

Obviously, domain registrations aren't confirmation of a new game, but it's frequently the first sign of a new franchise. No other details about this story are known as of this writing, though some are speculating that the name "Blood Masque" indicates this new property might have horror or vampire elements.

We have contacted Square Enix about this story asking for an official statement.

Hey Square Enix. Make a new Deus Ex please.
by Just_Rob Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:29 PM

you know what I'd wish Square Enix would remake with HD graphics? Final Fantasy XII. I've always wanted to play it...
by BrawlerPerez Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:35 PM

nice yeah no offense to square enix but final fantasy is getting a little boring so it good to see a new property being born.... possibly -.-"
by Cpu Xl Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:41 PM

That name sounds interesting. I like Final Fantasy but I hope Square publishes a new and different IP.
by chcoman123 Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:45 PM

Remember that picture they showed a long while back, but released no details about? I think this might be the title of that game from that picture.
by Jesus23 Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:58 PM

Or what you could do is finish FF XIII versus and/or kingdom hearts 3. We would appreciate that a lot.
by styx971 Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 08:59 PM

if the name can be the judge i'd be willing to guess its from the eidos side of SE
by ScruffTheNerfHerder Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 09:01 PM

I just hope it isn't a browser game like last time.
by FutureSight Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 09:08 PM

How about the finish Versus 13 before they make 16 new games.
by texasknight1 Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 09:12 PM

man although i love sqaure soft and all. im not even going to get hype anymore for anything they do.. sat around waiting for a countdown clock on a site hoping it to be star ocean sequel.. nope something else.. now they're registering another new franchise.. blah i'll wait till the GI review of the game. and its not like this is going to be coming out in the next month or so. Square soft stinks when it comes to hype business.
by The_All_Dead Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:03 PM

Hmmm,ya know what? I don't care. I just don't care...GODAMMIT SQUARE ENIX YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME!!!
by YouOrTheEgg Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:09 PM

Reminds me of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. Who owns the IP now? It was an activision published game I believe, but I've no idea who owns it.
by slickvicXLII Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:24 PM

damn. Square Enix will do just about anything except release Versus XIII or Kingdom Hearts 3.
by KvothetheBloodless Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:28 PM

As much as I want to be excited, I can't be. I sound like a broken record by now, but I don't care: they've got way too many projects to work on right now, and the only games that are seeing the light of day are mostly garbage.
by Bobobejumbo Thursday, January 31, 2013 at 10:31 PM

I would be extremely happy with a vampire themed rpg if it were the case.
by Holy Knight Friday, February 01, 2013 at 12:06 AM

It's probably just going to be another iOS or browser game. I'd love to be wrong though.
by James Stavrenos Friday, February 01, 2013 at 01:01 AM

Does anybody remember when this image was released? Could it possibly be this game, If so I am excited. http://cdn.gamerant.com/wp-content/uploads/First-Image-Square-Enix-New-RPG.jpg

I hope this could be part of the Legacy of Kain reboot that was rumored last year.
