Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which has now become publicly available. While this action doesn't confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly indicates that Capcom is actively considering new ventures related to this beloved franchise.
By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for exciting future projects, possibly including 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 hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels but went quiet after the third game's release in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for more.

These speculations are not without foundation. 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. 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.
