Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this information has become publicly accessible. While this move does not confirm the release of a new game, it strongly indicates that Capcom is considering new opportunities related to the franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be preparing for future projects, possibly including a remake of the beloved dinosaur survival horror series. Dino Crisis, originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, first launched on the PlayStation 1 in 1999. The series continued with two sequels, but after the third game's release in 2003, it went quiet, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for its revival.

These speculations have a solid foundation. Last year, Capcom declared its intention to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed soon after the announcements of Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the "most desired continuation" category, intensifying the anticipation for its comeback.
