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. This move, while not a definitive promise of a new game, strongly indicates that the company is seriously considering future endeavors with the franchise.
By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom could be setting the stage for upcoming projects, which might 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 launched in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series continued with two sequels but went quiet following the release of its third entry in 2003, leaving fans both bewildered and hopeful for a revival.

These speculations are well-founded. Last year, Capcom publicly declared its commitment to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed the announcements of 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 "most desired continuation" category, significantly boosting the anticipation for its potential comeback.
