Capcom has recently submitted an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, and the filing is now publicly accessible. Although this doesn’t confirm the development of a new game, it indicates that the company is seriously considering potential opportunities within the franchise. By securing the trademark, Capcom may be preparing for future ventures, possibly even a remake of the beloved dinosaur survival horror series. Created by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first launched in 1999 for the PlayStation 1. The series continued with two sequels but went quiet after the third installment in 2003, leaving fans yearning for more.

These theories aren’t unfounded. Last year, Capcom expressed its plans to "reinvigorate older franchises that haven’t seen recent releases." This statement followed announcements regarding Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, a fan poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024 placed Dino Crisis at the top of the "most desired continuation" category, reigniting anticipation for its comeback.
