Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has sparked excitement and speculation among fans. While this action does not confirm the imminent release of a new game, it strongly indicates that Capcom is actively considering future projects related to this beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for potential developments, including a much-anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the creative genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first launched in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels, but went quiet following the release of its third installment in 2003, leaving fans longing for more.

These speculations are grounded in recent developments. Last year, Capcom announced plans to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years," following the announcement of an 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 stoking hopes for its revival.
