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

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for exciting developments, possibly including a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the scene in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels but went quiet after the third installment in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for more.

These speculations are grounded in more than just hope. Last year, Capcom announced plans 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. Furthermore, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the charts in the "most desired continuation" category, amplifying the anticipation for its potential return.
