"Breaking Bad" might soon become a video game according to a new Sony trademark. While not much is known about the project, it's possible that Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston's popular characters might be featured in a PS4 title, mobile app or casino machine.

The news comes to Design & Trend via a fresh Sony trademark filed at The Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market database in Europe. The OHIM offers services similar to online rights providers in the U.S.

As one can see by browsing to the page, Sony Pictures Television Inc. has copyrighted a product called "Breaking Bad" that features codes nine, 28 and 41. In summary, these qualifiers typically apply to a video game or gambling machine. Sony often uses these discreet terms to describe its PlayStation console titles.

Beyond the basic description of a "Breaking Bad" gaming product, the trademark links back to Sony's U.S. headquarters and a law firm in Germany.

All things considered, however, there are plenty of reasons why Sony might file a trademark in the name of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. Since Sony owns "Breaking Bad," a likely scenario is that the company wanted to trademark a game based on the series in case they ever decide to make one.

A more exciting possibility is that a "Breaking Bad" game might actually be in development for any number of platforms from PS4 to mobile devices. At best, actors Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul could even reprise their iconic roles.

Back in 2013 a fan made a mock "Lego Breaking Bad Video Game" trailer that mimics the style of the licensed Traveler's Tales franchise. The clip has amassed over 3 million views since being posted. This doesn't mean that Sony has approved the video's concept, but officials may have used it as a gauge for interest in a game related to the show.


Following its premiere in 2008, "Breaking Bad" was privy to a wealth of success and a rabid fan base that spanned the show's five seasons. In its time on the air, the series secured dozens of accolades including 12 Primetime Emmy Awards. Since then, its spinoff, "Better Call Saul," has also garnered critical attention.

What would your dream "Breaking Bad" game be like, and who would develop it? Will Cranston and Paul reunite to recreate their legacy for a PS4 title? Tell us what you think!
