Capcom Trademarks Dino Crisis

by Victoria Apr 06,2025

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, a move that has now become public knowledge. While this action does not confirm the imminent release of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise. By securing the trademark, Capcom is potentially setting the stage for future endeavors, which might include a much-anticipated remake of the classic dinosaur survival horror series.

Dino Crisis, originally crafted by Shinji Mikami—the creative genius behind Resident Evil—first launched on the PlayStation 1 in 1999. The series enjoyed success with two sequels, but after the release of the third game in 2003, it mysteriously went quiet, leaving fans both puzzled and hopeful for its return.

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 an 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 list in the "most desired continuation" category, adding substantial fuel to the fire of anticipation for its revival.
