reloaded

English translation: The return of xxxx /or/ xxxx Returns

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:reloaded
Selected answer:The return of xxxx /or/ xxxx Returns
Entered by: Lara Barnett

English language (monolingual) [PRO]
Marketing - Idioms / Maxims / Sayings / Title of a series of articles
English term or phrase: reloaded
It's the title of a series of articles dealing with brewing and written in German. The author has used the word "reloaded" in the following context:
The series of 12 articles was published last year. Now it is being resuscitated. XXX reloaded. I suppose the author had in mind: neu aufgelegt. The word has two meanings in German and would translated into re-issued, something totally different, or "is back again".

I am looking for another word for reloaded. Some ideas:
xxx is back - but don't like it, boring
xxx revisited - a slightly different connotation

I simply cannot think of anything better.

TIA

XXX reloaded
xxx v 2.0


Explanation:
If this is in any way even faintly related to new technologies etc., you might try this — I had it just the other day, and although I puzzled at first, I quickly grasped it meant 'version 2.0 of something' — and in my context, that was perfectly apposite! Though it wasn't specifically about computer software, of course!

The advantage is, next year you'll be able to use 'v 3.0' ;-)

Notes to answerer
Asker: It does not even faintly relate to new technologies. The earlier series dealt with the basics of brewing, and the new series also deals with the basics of brewing, just different topics. The first article is about the hydrometer, and that's nothing new or fancy.

agree  B D Finch: Nice idea. Something to do with a recent question in EN>FR? Perhaps 1.1 if it isn't actually a new version.
2 mins
  -> Thanks, B! :-) You're probably right, I had it in my own work too; and as you say, why not v 1.1 indeed?
agree  Yvonne Gallagher: as BDF say 1.1 seems good unless it's new version...

  -> Thanks, G!
agree  Bernhard Sulzer: I would think it definitely works here.

Back again


Explanation:
1. I don't like 'reloaded' or 'resuscitated'.

2. I really like 'back again' ... even if you don't.

neutral  Tony M: I'm a bit worried that this sounds too much like 'schon wieder', with a slightly negative connotation; I well remember from my first year German ,,Es pinkelt schon wieder"

re-brewed


Explanation:
Aren't we dealing with brewing?

But if you don't like it, here are a couple of other suggestions:

rebooted
Take 2
Round 2
Bring Me Another One
Another Round

neutral  Tony M: I'm not sure there actually is any realy technique of 're-brewing', so this might ring slightly false (even though almost any other 're-' + verb might work).
8 mins
  -> Tony, this is not meant to be taken literally. It's supposed to be just a catchy title, and the articles are about brewing.

reborn


Explanation:
Another metaphor, which seems to fit the situation as I understand it. It's quite close to resuscitated, admittedly, but not so close as to seem like mere repetition, I think. I like "reborn" because it's quite upbeat, implying a mixture of continuation, the same basic identity, but novelty, a new beginning. It may work for you if Tony's computing metaphor is not in keeping with the tone and style you're after (and also I'm doubtful whether you want to imply that it's a new version of the same stuff; it's more a question of new wine, or perhaps beer, in old bottles).

agree  Tony M: Yes, after all, it seems not to be the product, but rather, the series of articles that is being 'reborn'

The return of xxxx /or/ xxxx Returns


Explanation:
Would this work? A play on film titles...

Example sentence(s):
  • "Superman RETURNS (2008)...Superman reappears after a long absence, but is challenged by an old foe who uses Kryptonian technology for world domination."
  • "THE RETURN OF THE Pink Panther is the fourth film in The Pink Panther series, released in 1975."

reissued


Explanation:
If the series was published just last year, it hardly needs resuscitation unless it was a total publishing flop. Perhaps something milder is needed to replace "resuscitated? Revamped? Brushed up?

Given that extra information in the Asker's note below, I have posted a rather different answer.

Notes to answerer
Asker: The series was so successful that a new series of articles is being published under the same old title, hence the "reloaded"
