No, it's not coming back like the title indicates. This is by zero of the original people and none of the original code. It's a clone, of which there are many better ones, as the article content explains.

This is a scam abusing a legal loophole (sniping the trademark) to sound official.

I think the title does a fine job explaining it isn't to be trusted 🤷‍♀️.

But yeah for real it's not legit. These people poached the trademark and are trying to cash in

I never could understand the appeal of that game.

i understand the appeal as a minigame, like it's literally a minigame in Deep Rock Galactic, but the fact that people genuinely play it as its own game is.. bro just play minesweeper

Btw if you actually enjoy Minesweeper, try Globesweeper.
