Still no updates on that PC Gamer article, where Nathan Grayson semi-implied that there would be more information on Titan lore. I think it was just a weirdly worded post that could be interpreted a few different ways, but it still looks like it was written that way intentionally to bring back his readers.
The latest updates are as follows:
On October 14 (last Friday), the author tweeted "Nearly done transcribing my Chris Metzen interview. He's an '80s nerd child to his very core. It's glorious."
And then followed by, "People are going to laugh at some of the things he said, but the degree of conviction in his words is incredible."
I figured his post would have been done by Monday, but I guess he's working on a lot of other articles.
They just registered for "CORE-ONLINE" and "COREONLINE".

I was hoping for a possible Online Mech/Front Mission game (e.g. Armored Core Online), but it appears that "Core Online" is just a gaming service portal.
IC 041. US 100 101 107. G & S: Entertainment services, namely, the provision of online computer game services; online computer game services provided by means of an internet portal; information and advisory services relating theretoThis new registration is actually related to an older September filing called CORE:

They purchased the "CORE" trademark from another company a really long time ago too:

They don't appear to own most of the "CoreOnline" and "Core-Online" domains, so I don't think they have any serious or immediate use for this new trademark.
There's been a few new updates on the Diablo 3 Emulator front, it's still in a basic sandbox state though. I figured that since things were so quiet, I might as well start tracking the project and providing updates here for those that were interested.
Here are all of the links to get you started:
