Update: An EA representative has told GameSpot that Unravel does not have to change its title.
It seems as if the upcoming game Unravel will have to change its name before release. According to a post by Neogaf, EA was denied a trademark for the name because a game with that name already exists. Apparently this notification was made to EA last June. Since they did not respond within the listed six month time frame, the trademark was denied.
The reason for its denial is because a game with the name Unravel already exists. In fact, it’s full name is Beary’s Unravel Game and is trademarked by SimplyFun games. It’s a board game still, but the name itself is still trademarked. So, let’s get a poll going on the best names that Unravel could be called, huh?
Unwound? Adventures of Yarny? Yarny Unleashed? Super Fun Time with Yarny? Yarny Kills Again? What do you think? Let us know below.
