Capcom Registers Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a guaranteed new game release, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring the franchise's potential. This trademark secures the groundwork for future projects, potentially including a remake of this classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally conceived by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, Dino Crisis first roared onto the PlayStation 1 in 1999. Though followed by two sequels, the franchise went dormant after 2003, leaving fans yearning for a return.

This renewed interest isn't unfounded. Capcom's 2024 announcement to revitalize dormant franchises, shortly after unveiling Okami and Onimusha projects, fueled speculation. Further bolstering hopes, a Capcom fan poll that summer ranked Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, making a revival seem increasingly likely.
