Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a guarantee of a new game, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring possibilities for the franchise. This trademark secures the groundwork for future projects, potentially including a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally conceived by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, Dino Crisis debuted in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. Following two sequels, the franchise went dormant after 2003, leaving a dedicated fanbase yearning for a revival.

This renewed interest isn't unfounded. Capcom previously announced plans to revitalize older franchises absent from recent releases. This followed the announcements of an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, a 2024 Capcom fan poll cemented Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, bolstering hopes for its return.
