Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently made a move that has reignited hope 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 available. While this action does not confirm the release of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new opportunities related to 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. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated gamers in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels but went quiet following the release of the third game in 2003, leaving fans longing for more.

These speculations are not without merit. Just last year, Capcom expressed its intent to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed the announcement of projects like 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 "most desired continuation" category, amplifying the excitement and anticipation for its potential revival.
