Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which is now publicly accessible. While this move does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise. By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for future endeavors, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series.

Dino Crisis, originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, first captivated gamers in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The franchise enjoyed success with two sequels but went quiet following the release of its third game in 2003, leaving fans both confused and hopeful for more.

The buzz around a potential Dino Crisis revival is not unfounded. 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 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, significantly boosting the anticipation for its return.
