Capcom Renews Trademark For Dino Crisis, Numerous Classic Games
With beloved and well-selling releases like Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry 5, and Monster Hunter World under their belt, Capcom has undoubtedly been killing it as of late. With even more expected hits lined up for its immediate future, the company is surely keen on keeping its hot streak alive. One of these ways appears to be through bringing back classic franchises, as Capcom has gone and renewed quite a few notable game trademarks–including the long-dormant likes of Dino Crisis.
Tmark365, a Twitter account known for its regular relaying of Japanese trademark filings, recently revealed this intriguing information through a series of tweets. Listed among the familiar likes of Mega Man, Darkstalkers, and Breath of Fire, dinosaur survival title Dino Crisis was arguably one of the most noteworthy of the bunch, the fan-favorite title long-considered a popular candidate for potential remasters or even a full-on follow-up from Capcom.

The fervor over a potential Dino Crisis resurgence has been happening for a while now, with efforts recently materializing in the form of an in-development fan remake. While there’s been little to indicate the series might return from extinction any time soon, the possibility has certainly been on the table, especially as Capcom has already professed plans to bring back some of its most long-awaited franchises. It’s possible this trademark could be telling of some unannounced prehistoric plans, but the massive array of other Capcom renewals might not present such a clear conclusion. With that said, these filings resulting in an eventual new Breath of Fire game wouldn’t be too bad either.
