We can no longer use the name Sandrock
[h2]Dear Portia and Sandrock fans,[/h2]
Due to some issues regarding the ownership of the name Sandrock, we are now happy to announce that My Time at Sandrock, will from now on be called “My Time at Rocksand.”
Not long ago we discovered that the name Sandrock is already owned and copyrighted in the EU. We have asked the owner of the name for the rights to use it, but we have failed to reach an agreement. Since we can no longer use Sandrock in the EU, we have decided to change the name worldwide to be consistent and to avoid confusion.
The dispute started a few weeks ago with the Italian artist Alessandro Ulcigrai, also known as “Sandrock” who laid claim to the name back in 2006. He said the name is essential to his brand identity and that he has put a lot of work and effort into his art.

As game designers we fully understand the value of protecting your art and we respect Alessandro’s decision to keep the name.
We hope that you, our beloved players will respect this as well and we are looking forward to you all joining together with our upcoming game “My Time at Rocksand.”
