Capcom has recently taken a significant step that has reignited excitement among fans of the Dino Crisis series. The company filed an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this submission is now publicly accessible. While this move does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is considering various possibilities for the beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is likely preparing the ground for future endeavors, which could include a much-anticipated remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated gamers in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels, but after the release of the third game in 2003, it went dormant, leaving a void in the hearts of its dedicated fanbase.

These speculations are rooted in concrete developments. Last year, Capcom expressed its intent 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 "most desired continuation" category, amplifying the anticipation for its potential comeback.
