Capcom Registers Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a guarantee of a new game, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring the franchise's potential. This trademark secures the groundwork for future projects, potentially including a remake of the beloved dinosaur survival horror series. Originally conceived by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, the original Dino Crisis debuted in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. Two sequels followed, but the franchise went dormant after 2003, leaving fans yearning for a revival.

This speculation isn't unfounded. Capcom previously announced plans to revitalize older franchises absent from recent releases. This followed the announcements of an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Further fueling anticipation, a 2024 Capcom fan poll ranked Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, significantly boosting hopes for its return.
