Capcom Registers Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom has recently filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this information has now become publicly available. While this move does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new ventures related to this beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is potentially setting the stage for future endeavors, which might include a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Created by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first launched in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series continued with two sequels, but after the third installment in 2003, it went quiet, leaving fans eager and hopeful for a revival.

These rumors are not without merit. Last year, Capcom expressed its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed shortly after the announcement of 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 list in the "most desired continuation" category, adding more fuel to the speculation about its potential return.
