The Warsaw-based developer filed that trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office last week, specifically for “Computer software for use with personal computers, for use with home video game consoles for use with televisions, and for use with arcade-based video game consoles for use with televisions.” That long for “video games”.

It also filed a Bulletstorm trademark for “Printed materials; user manuals; hint books,” so expect a manual to go along with it.

While not yet officially announced, Bulletstorm is likely that new “multi-platform game project” from Epic Games that Electronic Arts has agreed to publish, back when things were a little rosier for EA, amid a flurry of EA Partners branded publishing announcements.

Epic Games announced its majority stake investment in People Can Fly back in 2007, following the Polish developer’s work on Gears of War for the PC. Mark Rein, vice president of Epic, said at the time the company was “totally blown away” by People Can Fly’s prototypes. And Mark Rein is certainly not known for hyperbole!

The game will be released for PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 and be developed by Epic’s People Can Fly studio, based in Poland. For those of you wondering, People Can Fly were the folks behind Painkiller.

“Epic is excited to work with EA Partners to launch our next big IP on the global stage,” said Mark Rein, vice president, Epic Games. “EA Partners gives independent developers like Epic the muscle of a global publisher like EA, along with the focus and flexibility of a smaller team committed to working with our individual needs.”
