Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which is now publicly available. While this action doesn't confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise. Securing the Dino Crisis trademark could be a strategic move to set the stage for upcoming projects, possibly including a much-anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series.
Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the visionary behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 for the PlayStation 1. The series enjoyed success with two sequels, but after the release of its third installment in 2003, it went quiet, leaving fans both puzzled and yearning for more.

These speculations are grounded in recent developments. Last year, Capcom expressed its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed shortly after the announcement of the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom in the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the list in the "most desired continuation" category, significantly boosting hopes for its revival.
