Capcom has recently submitted paperwork to secure the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, with the filing now appearing in public records. While this doesn't confirm a new game's development, it strongly indicates the company is evaluating potential ventures involving this beloved franchise.
The trademark renewal suggests Capcom could be preparing groundwork for upcoming projects, potentially including a remake of the legendary dinosaur-themed survival horror series. Conceived by Shinji Mikami (creator of Resident Evil), Dino Crisis first terrified players in 1999 on PlayStation 1. The franchise saw two follow-ups before mysteriously vanishing after 2003's third installment, leaving a dedicated fanbase longing for closure.
These rumors carry substantial weight. Last year, Capcom publicly committed to "breathing new life into dormant franchises" - a declaration that followed announcements regarding Okami and Onimusha sequels. Furthermore, in Capcom's 2024 summer fan poll, Dino Crisis dominated the "Most Wanted Revival" category, significantly amplifying anticipation among enthusiasts.
