Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which is now publicly accessible. While this action does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's active interest in reviving the beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is likely setting the stage for future endeavors, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Created by the legendary Shinji Mikami, the same mind behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series enjoyed success with two sequels but went dormant following the release of its third game in 2003, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its return.

These speculations are well-founded, as Capcom announced last year its plan to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for 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 list in the "most desired continuation" category, significantly boosting hopes for its revival.
