Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now been made public. While this action does not confirm the imminent release of a new game, it strongly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new developments related to this beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for future endeavors, which might include a remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the creative genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series continued with two sequels but went quiet after the third game's release in 2003, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further developments.

These speculations are grounded in recent actions by Capcom. Last year, the company expressed its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for an Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024 saw Dino Crisis topping the "most desired continuation" category, further igniting hopes for its revival.
