Default Square Enix registers "T.R.U.E" trademark in late 2019.

It appears that Square Enix has registered in late 2019 the trademark "TRUE" which stands for Tomb Raider Ultimate Experience.

While I'm not certain it is the name for a future game (understand single installment), it appears to have been registered officially (or approved) sometime when Crystal Northwest was created. Furthermore, it appears Square has requested an extention on the trademark at the end of the year, last year.

Is it attached to the Ultimate Edition of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, or are they cooking something else?

I just skimmed through and I still didn’t find an answer to my question: How do we know that T.R.U.E stands for Tomb Raider Ultimate Experience? Any source? Is it your theory?

I don't think it's necessarily for a game, or just a compilation, but like a whole multi-media project.

I can see it being something for the 25th anniversary, like a brand to englobe everything: remasters/remakes of the classics, remasters of the LAU trilogy and reboot trilogy for PS5/XBSX, new Lara Croft games, new books/comicbooks, the new movie. Stuff like that.

It says so on the trademark.

This is not the official website of the US Patent/Trademark office, but I can confirm that two distinct applications are visible in the database of the US Patent/Trademark office.

I also thought it was your theory before seeing the link. It's very important, you should put the link into your OP imo.
Sooooo... Finally we have something that looks believable ! Unless it's a fake site. Nevertheless it's exciting, definitely sounds like an anniversary project. #TRUE

It sounds like an escape room type project or an activity for fans to be placed in a Tomb Raiding experience with friends.

It could also be a trilogy package of Tomb Raider, Rise and Shadow.

I immediately assumed they're just bunging the 3 reboot games together in one for another release. Something I wouldn't be interested in. I'm not getting any hopes up at all.

My bet is on a big, thick package with some of the recent games for next gen console.

Ugh, could be...
However the title sounds too "sensational" for just a trilogy package/remasters. I believe it's more than that, especially for the 25th Anniversary.
