Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which has now been made publicly accessible. Although this move does not confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is actively considering the future of this beloved franchise.
By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is potentially setting the stage for exciting new projects. This could include a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. The franchise, originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the legendary creator of Resident Evil, first captivated gamers on the PlayStation 1 in 1999. It enjoyed success with two sequels but has been dormant since the release of its third game in 2003, leaving fans yearning for more.

These speculations are not without foundation. 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, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the list in the "most desired continuation" category, intensifying the anticipation for its revival.
