Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

by Peyton May 04,2025

Capcom has recently made a move that has reignited the hopes of many fans by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan. This filing, now publicly available, does not confirm a new game release but certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise. By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is potentially setting the stage for exciting future projects, which could include a much-anticipated remake of the classic 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 saw two sequels, but it went quiet following the release of the third game in 2003, leaving fans yearning for more.

These speculations are not without merit. Last year, Capcom expressed its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Furthermore, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the charts in the "most desired continuation" category, adding fuel to the fire of anticipation for its comeback.
