Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now been made public. While this doesn't confirm the imminent release of a new game, it strongly indicates that Capcom is seriously considering reviving the beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom might be setting the stage for future endeavors, possibly including a remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series enjoyed two sequels but went quiet following the launch of its third game in 2003, leaving fans both perplexed and hopeful for a continuation.

These speculations are well-founded. Last year, Capcom expressed its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed the announcement of 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, further stoking anticipation for its potential comeback.
