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 imminent release of a new game, it strongly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new ventures related to this beloved franchise.
By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom might be setting the stage for future endeavors, possibly including a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the creative force behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series managed to produce two sequels before going quiet after the third installment in 2003, leaving fans both perplexed and hopeful for its revival.

These speculations are not without foundation. Last year, Capcom expressed its intent 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. Moreover, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the charts in the "most desired continuation" category, further stoking anticipation for its potential comeback.
