Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a guaranteed release, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring the franchise's potential. Securing the trademark lays the groundwork for future projects, potentially including a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Created by Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami, the original Dino Crisis launched in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. Although two sequels followed, the franchise went dormant after 2003, leaving fans yearning for a revival.

This speculation isn't unfounded. Capcom previously announced plans to revitalize dormant franchises, a statement following the announcements of an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, a 2024 Capcom fan poll ranked Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, significantly bolstering hopes for its return.
