Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this move has now been made public. While this doesn't necessarily confirm the launch of a new game, it certainly hints that the company is actively considering new ventures for the franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for future endeavors, which might include a remake of the beloved dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two follow-ups but went quiet after the third game released in 2003, leaving its fanbase both confused and hungry for more.

These speculations aren't without foundation. Last year, Capcom announced its plans to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of the announcements for 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, amplifying hopes for its revival.
