Nintendo registered for a trademark for “Eternal Darkness” on December 20. That’s according to a document filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The filing could be related the Nintendo Switch and its reported ability to play GameCube games. Attempted Kickstarters for a spiritual successor to Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Requiem never got off the ground.
Eternal Darkness is a 2002 GameCube game featuring an epically dark story that takes place over thousands of years. It’s a series of interconnected tales, almost like a collection of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, that weave together myth, occultism, and some of the dark chapters in religion. While most people associate the horrors of Eternal Darkness with the unnerving events that happen when your insanity meter dwindles, the most disturbing aspect of the game is the grand arc based on historical elements and the ensuing reign of terror that victimizes multiple generations of characters.
