Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and this move is now public knowledge. While this action alone does not confirm the development of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is seriously considering new ventures related to this beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be preparing the ground for exciting future projects. This might include 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 enjoyed two sequels but went quiet after the third game hit the shelves in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for more.

These speculations are not without foundation. 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, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the "most desired continuation" category, significantly boosting hopes for its revival.
