Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a confirmation of a new game, the public filing strongly suggests Capcom is actively exploring options for the franchise. Securing the trademark could pave the way for various projects, including a highly anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally conceived by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, the original Dino Crisis launched on PlayStation 1 in 1999, followed by two sequels before the series went dormant in 2003.

This renewed interest isn't surprising. Capcom previously announced plans to revitalize older franchises lacking recent releases, a statement closely following the announcements of an Okami sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, a 2024 Capcom fan poll cemented Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, adding significant weight to the speculation.
