Following the opening of their New Orleans studio, we’ve learned that inXile Entertainment has filed a trademark for Autoduel.

Autoduel was released back in 1985 by developer Origin Systems, and it was known for being a vehicular combat game, with RPG elements. It was received well by critics, although it never got a sequel and is currently unavailable to purchase commercially (although the copyright is still intact).

The new mark could be for a project this new satellite studio is set to task for, although it remains to be seen if this is indicative of anything the company is working on.

Making a new RPG that harkens back to a classic is sort of inXile’s thing now, so it would make sense to see the developer go after revitalizing an older IP for new generations.
