Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now been made public. While this action doesn't confirm the development of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new projects related to this beloved franchise.

Securing the Dino Crisis trademark could be a strategic move by Capcom to pave the way for future endeavors, possibly including a remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Created by the renowned Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the gaming scene in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series continued with two sequels but went quiet after the third game released in 2003, leaving fans eager and hopeful for more.

These speculations are not without merit. Last year, Capcom announced its plans to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of 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 substantial fuel to the hopes for its revival.
