Capcom Registers Dino Crisis Trademark

Capcom has recently taken a significant step that has reignited the hopes of many fans by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan. This move, now publicly accessible, suggests that the company is seriously considering reviving this beloved franchise. While this action doesn't confirm the development of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is exploring potential avenues for the Dino Crisis series.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom might be setting the stage for future endeavors, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the creative genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first captivated gamers on the PlayStation 1 in 1999. The series continued with two sequels, but after the release of the third game in 2003, it went silent, leaving fans both puzzled and eager for more.

These speculations are grounded in recent developments. Last year, Capcom expressed its intent to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024 saw Dino Crisis topping the "most desired continuation" category, adding substantial fuel to the fire of anticipation for its revival.
