But What's Knack All About Anyway?

For those not in the know, Knack was a major first party platformer which released as a launch title for the PlayStation 4 back in 2013. It was originally developed by Sony's now defunct Japan Studio.

It was subsequently followed up by a sequel, the imaginatively titled Knack II, which released for the same console in 2017 with a new focus on couch co-op play.

Despite their mixed critical receptions and middling sales upon release, both games have since gained a substantial cult following and earned their place in popular meme culture.

Whether the filing of this trademark is merely Sony keeping a tight grip on their first-party franchises or the beginnings of a new follow-up to the Knack duology is yet to be seen.
