Capcom Revives Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a confirmation of a new game, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring possibilities for the franchise. This trademark secures the groundwork for potential future projects, perhaps a remake of the beloved dinosaur survival horror series. Created by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, the original Dino Crisis roared onto the PlayStation 1 in 1999. Though two sequels followed, the franchise went quiet after 2003, leaving fans yearning for a revival.

This speculation isn't unfounded. Capcom explicitly stated last year its aim to revitalize dormant franchises. This announcement, following the reveals of an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, adds weight to the possibility. Furthermore, a 2024 Capcom fan poll crowned Dino Crisis the most desired franchise continuation, significantly boosting hopes for its return.
