Capcom Revives Dino Crisis: Trademark Filed

Apr 19,25

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now been made public. While this action does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise. This strategic move could be the precursor to exciting future projects, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series.

Originally launched by Shinji Mikami, the creative force behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated gamers in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series enjoyed success with two sequels, but after the release of the third installment in 2003, the franchise went quiet, leaving fans longing for more.

The speculation surrounding a potential revival is not without foundation. Last year, Capcom announced plans to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024 saw Dino Crisis topping the "most desired continuation" category, adding to the excitement and anticipation for its potential return.
