Capcom Revives Dino Crisis: Trademark Filed

Capcom has recently made a move that has reignited excitement among fans of the Dino Crisis series. The company filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this submission is now publicly accessible. While this action doesn't confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is considering new developments for the franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is potentially setting the stage for future endeavors, which could include a much-anticipated 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 enjoyed success with two sequels, but after the third game's release in 2003, it mysteriously went quiet, leaving fans both puzzled and eager for a continuation.

These speculations are not without foundation. Last year, Capcom 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 the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the charts in the "most desired continuation" category, adding substantial fuel to the fire of anticipation for its return.
