Capcom's recent trademark application for "Dino Crisis" in Japan has ignited excitement among fans. While not a guaranteed new game release, the public filing strongly indicates Capcom is actively exploring possibilities for the franchise. This trademark secures the company's rights, potentially paving the way for a remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally conceived by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, the original Dino Crisis launched on the 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, dormant franchises, a statement soon followed by announcements of Okami and Onimusha projects. Furthermore, a 2024 Capcom fan poll highlighted Dino Crisis as the most desired franchise continuation, adding significant weight to the speculation.
