Capcom Revives Dino Crisis: Trademark Filed

Capcom has recently taken a significant step towards potentially reviving one of its beloved franchises by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan. This move, now publicly available, hints at the company's active interest in exploring new opportunities related to the series. Although this doesn't confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly piques the interest of fans and suggests that Capcom may be laying the groundwork for future projects, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series.

Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated gamers in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The franchise enjoyed success with two sequels, but after the third installment in 2003, the series went quiet, leaving fans in suspense and eager for more.

These speculations are grounded in recent actions by Capcom. Last year, the company expressed its intent to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years," following the announcements of the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the "most desired continuation" category, further igniting hopes for its return.
