Capcom Registers Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this move has been made publicly accessible. While this action doesn't 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 is potentially setting the stage for future endeavors, which could include a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Created by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated players in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The franchise continued with two sequels, but went quiet after the third game's release in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for more.

These speculations have solid grounding. Last year, Capcom expressed its commitment 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. Moreover, a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024 revealed Dino Crisis as the top choice in the "most desired continuation" category, further stoking the fires of anticipation for its potential return.
